Hope you don't mind me tagging along with my own memorial photographs...

Here is the 491's memorial at the US Air Force museum:

Anyone know the validity of the claim on the 492nd's tablet?

Nice pics Tommy.

The '492nd heavy losses' quote is found in Roger Freeman's Mighty Eighth in his section on that unit, under 'Claims to Fame'.
Details and discussion also on page 172. They felt they were being 'singled out'.
