    B-29-40-BW, s/n 42-24610. Assigned 874th BS, 498th BG, nicknamed "Bedroom Eyes", marked as T Square 22. Flew 61 missions. Survived the war and returned to US. This aircraft incurred an incident on a 13 Mar 1945 weather reconnaissance flight. The left blister separated from the aircraft over the Japanese coast and the left gunner was sucked out from the rapid decompression. He managed to open his parachute, however, prevailing winds carried him out to sea and he was never found.

    As per Joe Baugher's site: P-51D-20-NA (USAAF Ser. No. 44-63328) 155th FG, 78th FS, "Moogie II" MIA May 25, 1945 on mission to Matsudo Airfield, Japan. MACR 14499. See: www.joebaugher.com/usaf_serials/1944_4.html It seems Moogie II was ill-fated as Baugher's site also describes the loss of P-51D-20-NA (USAAF Ser. No. 44-72592) and its pilot after colliding with P-51D (USAAF Ser. No. 44-63328) over Iwo Jima on May 22, 1945 - just three days before Moogie II would go missing.
