Lady Lois Factoid - The "220" was named by pilot Bill Arthur  "Lady Lois", after his wife.  The third crew of Lady Lois was responsible for renaming the plane "Little Jean." The crew photo above is not of "220", but an "F" model B-17. The girl painted on "Lady Lois" and "Little Jean" was not changed, only the name.

Note: Charles Chamberlain flew at least one mission, as a fill-in, on Bill Arthur's crew (July 16th) with the 91st Bomb Group (H).  There appears to be no other record of him in the 91st after that mission with Lady Lois.
