Assigned to 95th BG, 336th BS and arrived on 17 December 1944 at Horam, Suffolk. Reportedly named "Section Eight" and here seen on a mission somewhere over Europe. Damaged on a mission to the railway marshalling yards at Holzwickede on 23 March 1945. On return to England it was likely making for the special battle damage runway at Woodbridge, Suffolk when it collided with another B-17 and crashed at nearby Campsea Ashe.
