Nice shots!! The B-24 has different markings on the other side doesnt it?

IIRC, the right (starboard) side is marked as it appeared in the Indian AF No. 6 Squadron with what appears to be some "winged, water creature".

I'm sure someone here will have better information...

Afraid not, Pima is a static museum only. (one of the best static museums though, IMHO)

You are right, have the bird is still in Indian Colors. Here is the closest thing to a shot of it I have...

And a shot of the B-17's belly turret.
