Ztex- The last one, of the B-24 on the tarmac, (I think) is the first B-24 produced in Tulsa. That would make it B-24D 41-11754. That shot appears in a lot of Douglas-Tulsa literature from the war period, as it was our first. kevin |

Nice selection of images. As I know image of the razorback Thunderbolt is official USAF photo. Will try to see details if I find it in the chaos of my hard drive. |

Pic 14, the B-24 dropping supplies, could well be participating in operation Chowhound, the American counterpart of the better known RAF operation Manna. In both operations food was dropped over the western part of The Netherlands in May 1945, which was still occupied by German forces then. However, I'm not enterily sure. Photos and film footage of these droppings only show supplies dropped without parachutes, so it chances are that it is another support operation. The landscape defenitely looks very much typical Dutch. Tillerman. |
