Help Identifying 15th AF Libs
Would appreciate help to determine which BG operated " My Bill " and
during which periods 450th BG operated with " 5 " instead "4" on the rudder ? Alex K Last edited by researcher111; 24th February 2016 at 17:16. |

B-24J-5-CO, 42-73033, converted to F-7A, written off Aug. 19, 1944, Alaska. There looks to be snow in the background. Possible?

Nope, this is a 15th AAF, 455th BG plane, probably 44-49033 '75', a B-24L-1-FO model. See long side window of tail turret, etc. Here '033' on the nose was also a custom in the 455th as the last three digits of the S/N. This grey color means radar ship.
Cheers, Gabor |

Great Gabor I am checking now through their history book "Flight of the Vulgar Vultures " yet no trace on
this aircraft and yes I agree with u, the 033 is associated with 455th ships , affirm a Mikey ship ! Alex K |
