90th Bomb Group Message Board
Message No. 177Message:
I am seeking detailed info on a B-24 named Double Trouble which was the subject of a wartime AAF recruiting poster.
The poster states: while on a bombing mission along the New Guniea coast, the B-24 bombed a Japanese ship, and was attacked by twelve fighters, shooting down five while sustaining damage, returned to base wihtout a man lost. The pilot was a Silver Star and each crewman a DFC.
The Double Trouble is likely a B-24D #42-40358 of the 5th AF, 90 BG, 320 sqd, as shown in a photo on this site.
Any details - date, location, crewman, results, etc. will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Tony
