In 21 months of combat, Flak Bait acquired more than 1,000 holes, had its hydraulic system shot out twice and its electrical system once, returned twice on one engine, and came back once with an engine on fire. By war's end, it had flown 202 bombing missions, more than any other American bomber over Europe. The remaining fuselage of the Flak Bait is currently in storage at the Museum's Paul E. Garber Preservation, Restoration and Storage Facility.
