Carpetbaggers in the ETO

Anyone have any more pics of the B-24 carpetbaggers? There are only a couple that I could find in Google.

This site has great info, but is light in pics... http://harringtonmuseum.org.uk

Here is one of "Tar Baby", but it has the nose turret, and I thought all the carpetbagger aircraft had the turret removed for increased visibility at low levels? So this one would be a radar countermeasures ship? (thanks Second Air Force)

Here's a site I found that tells about the containers that were dropped, but it is all in French. http://pagesperso-orange.fr/philippe.ch ... boutme.htm

Also, has anyone ever seen any of these '24s be modelled?

And found this one on the B-24 Ad libs site:

Yup, it's an ECM bird (look at the antennas under the port wing). Also,
