Re: American aircraft photos 2 - 23
Hi Ed. The B-24s are 458th BG from Horsham, nearest is B-24J-1-FO (note the anti-glare style) 42-50575 at the time coded 7V-O then J3-O, the last 3 of the serial and a/c letter were marked on for the ferry flight to US in June 1945--- Ferry Flight 41. 575 was on the Magdeburg mission of 2 March 1945 as J3-O. The numbers-letters were probably marked large as other Groups were leaving from Horsham.
eg. 42-50502 7V-E was marked as "502-E", Crew 63.
