Nose Art
One of the planes on exhibit in the National Museum of the United States Air Force, located at the Wright-Patterson Air Force base near Dayton, Ohio. This is a B-24 Liberator bomber. The three people posing in front of it were classmates of mine when we visited here on a senior class trip back in 1979.

See any ghosts? This one is supposed to be haunted! :-)

B-24 Liberator — The "Strawberry Bitch" — Served with the 512nd Bomb Squadron, 376th Bomb Group of the 15th Air Force based in Libya and Italy. It had interesting nose art. Some say that the red-headed babe painted on the side had not a stitch of clothing on, when the plane was serving in action.

Strange lights are seen moving around the airplane. Someone it seems is still serving on board, not letting death get in the way.

The Belly guns are known to rattle by themselves, which perhaps is caused by the apparition of an unlucky gunner who was killed on a mission.

Never heard that story about the ghosts. Didn't see anything while I was there, either. But, the "haunts" could have been busy elsewhere. Thanks for the information as well. In my research, I never saw where she was originally nude. I wonder if any shots exist of her like that? All the shots I've seen are of her dressed like this.

Seems like all the old flight team photos of the plane are the non-pin up side which makes me think it's true. :-)

A lovely picture, no doubt keeping many fond memories alive.
An interesting old aircraft as well, with an equally interesting name!
