This bomber had serial number 41-24301 and flew with the 514th Bombardment Squadron, 376th Bombardment Group based at Soluch Field outside Benghazi, Libya. “Lady Be Good” was on its first combat mission of the war with a crew on their first combat mission. On their return flight from Naples on 4 Apr 1943, the pilot radioed that his electronic direction finder was not working. The crew overshot their base and continued on into the desert until they ran out of fuel, 440 miles beyond Benghazi. The wreck was not reported until discovered by an oil exploration team in 1959. Remains of the nine-member crew were not recovered until 11 Feb 1960 and the months following. MACR 15566.
