: Tracy,
: O.k., I think I see where the confusion comes from. I assume you meant that "Chow Hound" was the name of A/C 42-31367, whereas I originally though you were referring to the missions late in the war, to drop emergency rations to starving civilians in Holland. Those missions were called "Chow Hound Missions". Sorry about that!
