I must emphasize that Mission 109 was launched under horrendous conditions, due to the sandstorm. The disorientation among the B-24 crews is a matter of record.
Lady Be Good was to trail behind two other B-24's during Mission 109. The reason for this is that, at the time, the aircraft with the most experienced navigator took the lead, while those with less experienced navigators bringing up the rear. Since Lady Be Good's navigator and crew had no combat experience, Lady Be Good was the twenty first B-24 to take off, of a group of twenty five.
More to follow.
