Agree, very nice V2. Presumably at the Bell factory, pre delivery to the USSR?
Robert, I've got quite a few colour shots of B24's, but not sure if I can post them due to copyright on the book. If you can obtain a copy, it's crammed with pics of the USAAF in Britain in WW2, with some fantastic pics that look like they were taken yesterday! The book is 'The Mighty Eighth in Colour', by Roger Freeman, an acknowledged 'expert' on the subject, with numerous books under his belt. It is thought that he coined the phrase 'The Mighty Eighth', and he lived in East Anglia, as a boy, during the war, noting and recording the airfields and aircraft of the USAAF in the area.

I beleive the "Commemorative B-24 is a contemporary photo of the Collings Foundations B-24. Was painted with the names of all the sponsors of the Aircraft. This looks like the paint job they had on the aircraft before it was re-painted in the Dragon and it's Tail markings. I think it was named "All American" at that point in time.

gorgeous shot, man!

but I think you're supposed to put up color pics from the WWII time period.

but thank you for that B-24! :D
 
Just pointing out that the previous shot of this B-24 was a modern re-build as well and not a actual WWII Photo.
