Probably taken on the
flight line on Eniwetok, MB-6 awaits its next mission. Each of
VMB-613's aircraft had two assigned aircews. MB-6's two aircrews
were that of First Lieutenant Robert E. Love and First Lieutenant
William J. Love, hence the name, "Love Bug." First
Lieutenant William J. Love and his crew were killed when this aircraft
was shot down on a raid over Ponape on February 6, 1945.
