Contributor - Brendan Wood

Info Contributor - Tom Brittan
According to Jeff Brett, 42-110044 was named SLEEPLESS KNIGHTS but "FIRE EXTINGUISHER" in one line on the housing cover (see PIC 2) is indicative of an H FO, CF or DT. 27 missions: 8 Apr - 12 Jul 44. Lead aircraft on 13 Apr 44 mission.

Info Contributor - Georges "Gino" Künzle
The late Tony North had S/N 42-110044 matched to it as well. However, such an ID just can't be correct because the downwards-opening nose wheel doors can clearly be seen (see PIC 1) and 42-110044 (J-CO) had inwards-retracting nose wheel doors instead.
