KW148268 - Consolidated B-24D Liberator
This sheet includes markings to complete a two B 24D Liberators from the Pacific theatre. 'Hot Stuff' served with the 9th Airforce, 93rd Bomb Group, 330th Bomb Squadron and had it's neat little nose art girl on both sides. We have also included the crew names which are positioned around the aircraft in the relevant positions. Incidentally, ''Hot Stuff' was the first USAAF bomber to complete 25 missions. She was sent home with some of her original crew along with several officers including the original commander of European operations, Lt. General Frank M. Andrews. Tragically this aircraft was lost on it's way home colliding with a mountain in poor visibility killing all on board, this lead to General Eisenhower being given command of European operations and overall command of the D-Day invasion and the B 17 'Memphis Belle' getting the fame and glory for the 25 mission goal. 'Snafu' flew out of Australia, the airstrip located in Munbaloo. She completed 17 missions and sunk a ship before being lost in a take-off incident where she was scrapped and used for spares. Parts of her survive to this day and are under restoration in Australia.
