Hi Greg,
One of the best places for finding B-24 Pics and info is www.b24bestweb.com. You won't find SODPA'S WABBIT, it's actual name is SOOPER WABBIT.
For "lost" 319th to commemorate, I would say:
PELLY-CAN (41-23688) Capt Roy Olsen CO 319th Fenton Australia, lost 23 June 1943. All crew lost
DIRTY GERTIE (41-23731) Capt Charles Jones, CO 319th Fenton Australia, lost 15 March 1943. All crew lost
LADY BEVERLY (41-23760), Ditched at Baibara Island after 90th BG first combat mission. 319th first combat loss. Only 2 survivors
I'll get back to you with some more later.
Regards
Pete
