Re: B24 use by Red Chinese ?
Hello,

Here is what Joe Baugher has to say on the CNAF B-24M's:

http://www.joebaugher.com/usaf_bombers/b24_33.html

I have checked Baugher's sources - Alwyn Lloyd's, Liberator America's Global Bomber (p.512), provides an identical listing of the 38 B-24M's used by the CNAF, with no further comment. The Ernest McDowell Consolidated B-24D-M (Arco/Aircam, undated & unpaginated) reference has a colour profile of CNAF B-24M 44-42462 and two photographs of CNAF B-24M's. One of the photographs depicts B-24M 44-42462 (actually marked 442462, and directly below the serial there is a similar marking ie - B-24002). The B-24's are in natural metal finish with rudders marked with blue and white horizontal stripes. On the nose of this aircraft is a Mickey Mouse-like (?) figure holding a bomb.

Col.
