Re: Looking for information/members of 438th Bomber Squadron, 319th Bomber Group

Nick,
While I did some research on the liberation of the French Mediterranean port of Toulon (August 1944)I stumbled on a nice picture of a B-26, with battle number 38, overflying that area. I have identified the plane as "Josephine II" Serial Number 41-34932 and belonging to the 438th Squadron of the 319th Battle Group. On Google Earth I have accurately located the area visible in the picture, and I would like now to virtually re-fly the bombing mission, using Flight Simulator (enhanced by Flight Riviera) and videotape it for distribution to interest groups. For the moment I practise this using a downloaded freeware of a B-26, but, of course, it would be more realistic if that plane had the painting, nose art and markings of "Josephine II". Can you help? Are you interested in my project?
Roland
