Thanks for this insight.
It's always seemed to me as the most produced heavy bomber of all time - and also US made - the B-24 holds a special place in US and world aviation history. Thus, a good fit for the story the NASM is charged with telling. In any case, there are such a limited number, that even with all the caveats listed above, any time one became available its seems like NASM would be interested.
