Poundstone did not fly any missions between Apr 7th and Apr 24th. He flew 5 additional mission between Apr 24th and the end of the war. Those missions were flown in 4 different planes. There is no indication that Touchdown was Poundstone's plane as he didn't seem to have a permanently assigned plane. -416th Bomb Group - WWII
