Forgive me if this has been covered before and completely overlooked by me:

I recall reading some time ago in Stephen Ambrose's "The Wild Blue" that at the time, the Collings B-24 was the only flying one. Was Lil not flying then, or was it not being considered a B-24 because of the LB-30 designation? Or was this just an error, which I've heard that this book was full of......?

Just curious.........

Yes, because of the LB-30 designation. Minor technicality if you ask me.

Yeah! I guess so! Thanks, tho......

Ambrose was a bit biased too... he was a plane sponsor (one of the bigger names on the front) of the B-24 after he took a ride in her at a Williamsport, PA visit a few years before the book was published.

I remember thinking about the "bias" bit in his acknowledgement section. Ah, at least he gave a glowing review of his flight! Also, it's nice that he became a sponsor.....too bad more people with a bit of "disposable income" wouldn't do so.......
