Re: Photo of B-24 42-78106 in Luftwaffe markings

Hi Jim / Revi. The B-24 was assigned to the 459BG from the 460BG but new markings hadn't been applied. The Group is in the MACR.

She was sent to 2./KG200 (the transport / ferry unit) known as Detachment "Olga" at Frankfurt/Main. She was blown up by the Germans just before the war ended, at Hildesheim.
These are 2 links to the B-24 etc. See also "KG200 the true story" by P.W.Stahl who commanded the Detachment.
Regards Nick
