Found this pic tonight of a "Mickey" Lib while surfing which some of you might have already seen. I cannot tell the position in the formation but thought it a decent pic. Best Regards! Steven

Hang onto these things Ladies and Gentlemen, please, and thanks.
There'll be a "final call' to all organizations. It won't be tomorrow.

This is a picture of B-24 Mickey Ship that flew with the 461st BG,765th BS, 15th AF. It was all-gray and flew at least 32 combat sorties.In the 461st each squadron had its own Mickey ships. Dad seems to recall each squadron had two. The aircraft is #30 S/N 44-49038 "Billie K" I met the Mickey operator at the MAPS Air Museum last weekend that I referred to in my earlier post. When I related my father's story to him, he got a big grin on his face and said, "That was me! I had no idea I had that kind of reputation in the group." Terrific guy. Ken
