Damn and blast!

WWII USAAF Consolidated B-24M Liberator 44-51228/39 RE:Z 'The Blasted Event' on display under grey skies at Lackland AFB, San Antonio, Texas in 1998

 

Shortly after I took this photo she was dismantled there and slid inside a C-5A Galaxy transport and flown to RAF Mildenhall in the UK

 

Roaded to nearby Duxford and then refurbished, she is now one of the exhibits inside the IWM's American Air Museum there as 'Dugan'

 

Lackland apparently replaced her with a full-size Fibre-Glass replica!

 

Scanned Kodak 35mm Transparency
