Some reports have this aircraft as being shot down whilst returning from the target area on the 1st August 1943 from the �?low level Ploesti mission�?, but this is not the case. �?Prince Charming�? turned back early over Corfu and did not even reach the target area. The aircraft was shot down over Bulgaria by a ME-109, while helping defend �?The WITCH�? (41-11840), crash landing with only the tail gunner surviving.
