Thanks for posting this. "Bond Purchase" Airplanes and equipment are some of my favorites. Here are a few bits from my personal interests perspectives-
1. "The Fighting Falcon" was a Gibson Refrigerator CG-4A that carried the Assistant Division Commander of the 101st Airborne Division into combat. It was purchased by Greenville, Michigan Public Schools and was the first CG-4A in the formation to Normandy on D-Day. There's much more to the story if you haven't heard of it:

3. 2-3 years ago, a group of documents showed up on ebay related to Tomous J. Mouse. Tomous J. Mouse was Stinson's cartoon mascot for Michigan and Ohio schoolchildren who participated in the war bond stamp program. War bond stamps were fractional pieces of bonds which anybody (not just kids) could buy, paste into a book, and when enough were purchased, could be turned into a whole war bond. Kids collected scrap, bottles, and anything else of value to buy these stamps, and school programs would form drives to purchase aircraft, trucks, and other pieces of equipment using the bonds bought collectively by the kids. Similar programs were done with other corporations throughout the US.
4. I no longer own it, but at one point I had a Dodge WC-53 Carryall which was purchased by a war bond drive. One of the hallmarks of these vehicles was a stencil on the dash board telling whoever was driving the cost of the vehicle and who purchased it. The cost was on the dash, but the purchaser's ID was gone. I suspect this was done for security purposes, but have no firm evidence of this, just a suspicion due to the fact that other vehicles have shown up like this.
