Description:
“Jersey Bounce” hit #1 in 1942
as an instrumental recorded by Benny Goodman and his orchestra. The
tune was popular as the source of aircraft nicknames during World War II.
One of the first examples was a B-24D Liberator that served in the Eighth
Air Force with the 93rd Bomb Group at Alconbury, England, in 1942 and
1943. It was also the name of two B-17 Flying Fortress bombers in the
303rd Bomb Group stationed at Molesworth, England during World War II. In
fact, this plane flew 14 combat missions and was labeled "the hardest
hit ship of the 358th Bomb Squadron (VK-K)". After it was taken out
of commission, the "Jersey Bounce 2" replaced it. At least four
other Bombardment Groups had B-17 bombers named "Jersey Bounce".
