Coral Princess, whose nose art was inspired by Alberto Vargas' 'Temptation,' served with the 93rd's 330th Squadron, radio call letter J. She was left behind in North Africa in August 1943 and transferred to the 98th Bomb Group's 344th Squadron. She was ultimately salvaged on September 7, 1944, possibly after a further transfer to the 449th Bomb Group as a utility aircraft.
