    Flak-Bait is second from the left as it leads the Marauders of the 322nd toward Magdeburg on its officially recognized 200th mission on April 17, 1945. The absence of the .50-caliber machine gun in the Plexiglas nose allowed the bombardier, First Lieutenant William D. Brearly, to use his Norden bombsight more easily. As the group bombardier, when he dropped his bombs, the rest of the group would do the same.
