Previously named "Hang The Expense" (351st Bomb Squadron) until Frank Valesh limped back to RAF Lympne with the tail almost shot off at the end of December 43. Once repaired and returned for combat duties its squadron letter was changed from "E" to "Z". The change of name also brought a change of luck and it became one of the group's finest veteran Forts.
If you can add any further detail to this mission listing
I would be pleased to hear from you.
Some sources put the final mission tally as high as 125 missions.
