Gentlemen, the only real choice is "He11's Wench" of the 93rd...the craft Jerstad and Baker rode down in flames at Ploesti.

I believe there was already a vote for this 'ole gal...

Image from 'For The Boys'

I'm a Jack Benny fan and this ship from the 90th BG would be an alternative. If anyone has more photos of this particular B-24 I'd like to see them...

...trade it for a B-17 first off.


But if I had to keep it awhile the right side would be painted as:

The Chief of the Wyandot Indian Tribe, Leaford Bearskin's B-24D-155-CO,
42-72774, of the 5th AF, 90th BG "Jolly Rogers". 321st BS BIG CHIEF.

The Left side would be the 15th AF B-24H-5-CF 41-29221, of the 450th BG, 722 BS, "Toni Gayle".
