In Page 1 are two photos of the Samuelson Crew.

One of the captions has them flying on Z-Square 19.

This is incorrect as the only B-29s that Capt Samuelson flew
were Z Square 3, Z Square 11, and Z Square 12.

The below page from Jim Bowman's Day by Day clarifies the
distinction between Snafu Per Fort and Sna Pe Fort.

Also Z Square 19 became the Althoff Crew's B-29 and survived the war.

Following Day by Day is an index of
all the B-29s that were in the 500th Bomb Group.

At the bottom are two photos with
the original and the 'altered' nose art.
