These are excellent! I like the spotted ass ape since I'm close friends with a veteran from the 458th bomb group! His crew was shot down in "Shoo Shoo Baby" on June 29, 1944 - luckily they all survived.

Here is my Dad's aircraft. It was a B-24J in service in the Pacific. His unit was the 392nd Bomb Squadron (H).

This is the B24 that my friend Everett's crew flew their first mission in on June 6, 1944 in support of the D-Day landings. They went on to fly a handful of missions until they were shot down on the 29th of June. They were in the 458th bomb group 754 squadron.

Another photo of the same ship

Here's "Hell's Angels" of the 458th bg. My friend flew most of his missions in this ship. (crew in photo is a different crew)

You got it. Uncle Bud's plane (my avatar):
