Default WW2

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.

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.
