A B-24 was lost over Port Moresby area, Papua New Guinea on 2/12/43, belonging to the 400th Bomb Squadron, 90th Bomb group. I would like if someone could give me the serial number of this plane. Three of the crew members names are 1st Lt. Donald A. Rininsland, 1st Lt. Evan P. Hughes, and 1st Lt Franklin L. Peck.

Thank You:

John
