It was damaged in an attack on 25th Dec 1941. It was repaired and then used as transport aircraft. It crashed at Mackay, Queensland, 14 June 1943..Looking at Michael Claringbould's book "The Forgotten Fifth" it shows that B-17, #40-2072 was "Pamela" of the 21st Squadron, of the 374th Transport Group. Peter Nielsen's book "Diary of WWII - North Queensland" states that it was part of the 46th Troop Carrier Squadron which was part of the 317th Transport Group.
