First USAF Airplane to Comedown in Sweden in World War Two. - 8x10 photo | eBay
Baugher: 42-3217 (MSN 8153, 381th BG, 535rd BS, *Georgia Rebel*) damaged by flak over Norway and crashlanded at Vannacka, Sweden Jul 24, 1943. MACR 132. 1 killed, 9 interned, later returned.
42-3217 | American Air Museum in Britain : Delivered Cheyenne 30/3/43; Dow 23/5/43; Assigned 535BS/381BG [MS-T] Ridgewell 24/5/43 with Osce Jones, Seth Armstead, Leon Spivey, Chas Nevius, Jim Haynie, Joe Nicatra, Alf Haugen, Chas Newcomb, Shannon Early, Maurice Kelleher.
On returning from mission to St Nazaire on 28 June 1943, a liferaft broke loose and caught round the tail fin, and with aircraft spiralling down out of control Lt Melvin Hecker was able to tie the raft's lines to a waist gun, and using the gun as a lever, prised the raft loose and enabled the pilot to get the ship under control again.
Not too soon, as two German fighters swept in to attack the stricken ship, but they were both shot down and the Rebel headed home OK.

The insignia on the fuselage sides is unusual, in having the bars at the sides being painted over the squadron and individual codes.

Looks like the transition period, from just the roundel and star, with the bars in the process of being added, but the painting not yet completed. Note that the blue outline to the bars is not yet in place, and the outline to the roundel has yet to be re-painted in blue.
Hard to tell, but the existing outllne to the roundel and bars appears to be red, narrowing down the time period somewhat.
