B-24D Liberator
The
B-24D-160-CO (S/N 42-72843) "Strawberry Bitch" flew combat missions from
North Africa in 1943-44 with the 512th Bomb Squadron. The aircraft was
named, in part, because of the pinkish-tinted paint. It was flown to
the U.S. Air Force Museum in May 1959.
After extensive restoration and perservation work by the USAF Museum
restoration division, the aircraft was placed on permanent display and can
be viewed in the Air Power Gallery at
the Museum.
