Collings Foundation Stow, MA
This is the B-24J owned by the Collings Foundation. The Collings
Foundation tours this aircraft extensively each year along with the
B-17 Nine-O-Nine giving demonstrations and selling rides. This
aircraft was one of several B-24's that was sent to India after
WWII. The remaining B-24's were all scrapped, so very few survive
to this day. After returning from India, this B-24 was painted as
the All American, which we see in these two photos. The paint was
later changed to The Dragon And His Tail. After two years in that
paint job, the B-24 currently sports the nickname Witchcraft. The
Collings Foundation has stated that they will change the nickname
of the Liberator every few years to honor a different B-24 and
combat crew.
