John, I can give you something about the aircraft, but don't have the resources to give you any personal data on Bud Maguire. However, I am confident that some of the other guys who monitor this message board will come forward and help you along. 43-97211, built by Boeing as one of 200 a/c in Block 105. Accepted into inventory 08 Jan 1945, at Hunter AAF GA 10 Jan 45.assigned overseas at Grenier, 02 Feb 45. Assigned 750 Bomb Sq., 457th BG at Glatton, 18 Feb 45. Call letters N, W. Returned to US Zone of the Interior 06 Jun 45. At Kingman, AZ 28 Nov. 45. MAGUIRE'S CHOP HOUSE. I was in the 748th Sq. and rarely, if ever, flew with a/c from the 750th so my loading lists, what few I have, do not show 211. You might e-mail Joe Toth at jandjtoth@juno.com. He has loading lists and perhaps can identify missions on which Maguire flew 211. For a very nominal charge, he can provide copies of the loading lists for such missions. I realize that this is not a terribly satisfying answer for you, as it is not for me. However, it's the best I can do. Some of the other guys might pick up the slack here.
Cheers! craig harris
