Interesting photo. Anyone able to make out the serial? Definitely a B-24A from both the data plate stenciled on the plane and the appearance, but would be interesting to see what serial number. I'm pretty certain it's not 927 as the S/N appears to end in a 9, but would still be nice to know which of her sisters it was.

Maybe 40-2379?

40-2378 ... 40-2386
Consolidated B-24C Liberator
C/n 1/9. Originally ordered as B-24A. Redesignated RB-24C

That looks like a photo of a photo; scanning the "hard copy" would make it readable.

No its an original hardcopy photo in my personal collection

scanning the "hard copy" would make it readable.

Doubt it, depth of field of a 40's era speed graphic would be limited, the focus (literally) of the photo is the centre group of people not the aircraft behind it

Might be B-24A 40-2374, which was part of the Harriman mission and continued on to the Middle East. Time frame seems about right. My 2 cents.
