After using some leads here it appears that based on the names of the crew, when it was lost and the confirmation of the squadron they were serving with that the aircraft was BJ968.

The artist produced the painting based on word of mouth information and used BJ958.

As he is not by any stretch an aviation type much less an aviation history type I can see the mistake.

As the painting itself (already completed) tells a phenomenal story and is a great tribute to all of those that did not get to come home it is in my mind a minor artistic error that does not dilute the effort and talent the artist has out into creating the image and recognizing the story of the crew.

But yes you are right I fully plan on passing all the information to him in private and quietly.

We are going to attempt to pull the service record when time permits, this has all happened in the last few days so there won’t be time before Nov 11th, but i believe it is important we not just display the painting but tell the story of the crew…they are the real story and history.

Once again I thank you all for your valuable assistance.
