May have been named MIGHT (KNIGHT ??) OF THE EIGHTH.
Caption Reads: "B-24 of the 2nd Bomb Division, 8th Air Force, en route to bomb Nazi installations somewhere in Europe, 24 Nov 44 - 389th Bomb Group"

Info Contributor - Tom Brittan
The date in the caption cannot be right. Group markings changed at the end of May 44 from C in a circle (disk) to the high visibility black tail with a broad white vertical stripe in the middle. Moreover, on 9 Apr 44 42-99982 crashed near Bintree in Norfolk after a mid-air collision with a B-24 from 392nd BG (41-29485) and was salvaged.
