That is a great photo. Of course there still is no proof that it did fly it first as the mission logs of the squadrons don't match up. :D

Actually that is not known yet. It is also thought that a B-24 might have done it. It's kind of crazy to think that the records were that bad, but I guess they had more important things to do and that paper work came second.
