'Lucky Strike' - 380th BG...my father in law, S/L Bill Ross, flew one mission in this one from Fenton as part of his conversion to the B-24 in 1944.

With his crew flew ten missions with the 380th and then went back to their RAAF Liberator sqn.

He did the actual initial flight training on war weary B-24s from the 42nd BG at newly captured Nadzab.
