Fun bit of trivia, about 15 years ago Collings was approched by NASM to trade the B-24 for The P-61. They gave us a great after hours tour and the talks were short lived but, they have an interest in the 24. The Witch will be with Collings in the new facility in stow…someday

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.
