My mother passed these on to me just before she passed away in 2002. They
were taken by a T/S Clarence Everett US 5th Air Force in Austrailia, New Guiena, Netherlands East Indiamin 1943 - 1946. Some I do nor reconize and some I could figure out. |

Some I do not recognize and some I could figure out. You can track down some information on the B-24s by googling "B-24" and the plane names (good luck finding anything on a C-47 named "Yours"). Here's a little information: "Drip" - B-24D - 90th BG, 321st BS "Pickled Peach" - B-24D - 43rd BG "Double Trouble" - B-24D - 43 BG, 64 BS "Heaven Can Wait" - B-24D - 90th BG, 320th BS "Twin Nifties II" (spelled "Niftys" on the other side of the fuselage) - B24-D - 90th BG, 400th BS The names on "Twin Nifties II" are from a USO tour: Gary Cooper, Una Merkel, (Phyllis) Brooks and Andy Arcari (a famous accordionist). Most autograph collectors use something a little more convenient than a B-24. --Bill Thompson |
