[QUOTE="rhodesbe, post: 1765643, member: 2415"] The Collings Foundation just bought another B-24 that used to be the Confederate/Commemorative Air Force's "Diamond lil". It is a B-24A, and is one of the oldest Liberators in existence, much less flying. A cool backstory to that plane is that it was an all-black 'carpetbagger' in the China/Burma Theater during WWII, and it was used to transport Chiang Kai-shek and his wife around the continent. Stepping through that plane in particular is stepping through about 15 chapters in a history book. [/QUOTE]
