Fantasy Of Flight Polk City, FL
This is the B-24J owned by the Fantasy Of Flight aviation theme
park near Orlando, Florida. This B-24 was owned for a long time
by David Tallichet, who is famous for saving a large number of
historic WWII warbirds. Tallichet rescued this Liberator from
being scrapped in India following its service in the Indian Air
Force. Painted as Delectable Doris, the B-24 was on loan to several
different museums, including the March Field Museum in Riverside, California,
Combat Air Museum in Topeka, Kansas, and the Liberal Air Museum
in Liberal, Kansas. This Liberator has been maintained in flight-worthy
condition through the 1990's, and it appeared at a few airshows
each year. It was purchased by Kermit Weeks for the Fantasy Of
Flight, where it has remained largely a static display.
