Let's call Tom Hanks. If he can make a good movie like The Terminal, he will get an Oscar out of this story.

As I remember it, when I was a kid Revell produced a 1/72 scale model of this bird.

Nice shot of B-24 #71 - I hadn't seen that one before! The aircraft is Blue Streak, one of the original Halpro aircraft. "Borrowed" from a British production order, the aircraft was delivered with Dark Olive Drab uppers and Deep Sky Blue undersides.

She was later featured on the box art for the Revell 1/72nd scale kit.

Cheers,

That would have been back in the 1960s. I had one of those kits back then.
