Notes
AC is the abbreviation for “Aircraft Commander.” This is the term for the officer-pilot in command of the aircraft. In other aircraft, he would be designated as, “Pilot.” The position known as “Co-Pilot” was designated on the B-29 as “Pilot.”
Aircraft Name: Z Square 58. Seems to have been spelled as MARYLIN, MARYLYN and
MARILYN.
Spelling errors: Names of individuals, cities, and streets were taken from records available to us. Some of these records were in handwriting that was not clear. Some records were typed must have been taken from sound or nicknames. It looks like the names of cities and streets were unfamiliar to the typist. We have corrected many of these but some are still baffling. Suggestions, corrections are welcome.
