"When Day is Done" - Mission 244 of the 416th Bomb Group. Photo from Captain Francis J. Cachat Collection.

There is some discrepancy on the date and mission associated with this photo. The Collection website description of this photo indicates that the date is 2 APR 1945, and it says "Mission 248". However, Mission 248 was flown on 21 MAR 1945. There was no mission on 2 APR 1945. Despite the discrepancy, these planes can still be positively identified by fuselage code. Examining the historical records between Missions 200 and Mission 260, none of these plane changed codes or ID. So, regardless of when the exact photo was taken during that time period, the planes are the same.

From Left to Right, not counting the two planes facing right: 5C-B: 43-22313 - 5C-K: 41-39300 - 5C-F: 41-39249 - 5C-R: 43-22498
