In May 1942 the 15th Bomb Squadron became the first squadron sent to the UK to join the US 8th Air Force. As no US spec Havocs were available six RAF Bostons were lent to the Americans by the RAF's 226 Squadron. On July 4th they flew their first mission over France in what was largely a publicity stunt. The mission, flown jointly with RAF Bostons was costly though; two of the six US aircraft were shot down and a third badly damaged. The 15th flew four more missions over France before October, when they were transferred to the 47th Bomb Group in Algeria.
This 15th BS Boston was at some point repainted from its factory RAF scheme to more resemble a US camouflage scheme of Olive Drab over Neutral Gray. As US paints were in short supply RAF paint was used instead, most likely Dark Green and Medium Sea Grey. The aircraft was named "Texas Steer" and featured nose art of said animal trailing a banner from its horn with the word "TEX" on it, the emblem of the University of Texas.
