- HISTORY ASPECTS:
- The B-24D is a heavy bomber that played a crucial role in World War II. This particular aircraft, named "Strawberry Bitch," has a fascinating history of service during the war.
- The Consolidated B-24 Liberator was long-range bomber and reconnaissance aircraft used extensively during World War II by every branch of the US Armed Forces and other US allies. Because of its range and speed, the B-24 was often used on anti-submarine patrols. Compared with the B-17 Flying Fortress, the B-24 has a higher top speed, longer range, and the ability to deliver a heavier payload. Due to its great success on all fronts during World War II, the B-24 was the most produced American military aircraft in history. The B-24D Liberator "Strawberry Bitch" flew over 50 missions for the 376th Heavy Bombardment Group in North Africa and sports pink desert camouflage, hence the name. It took part in and survived the Ploesti oil refinery raid of August 1943. It is currently on display indoors in the World War II Gallery of the Museum of the United States Air Force in Dayton, Ohio.
- "Strawberry Bitch" was assigned to the 308th Bombardment Group of the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF). It saw action in the Pacific Theater of World War II, participating in numerous bombing missions against Japanese targets. The aircraft and its brave crew faced challenging conditions and formidable adversaries, demonstrating the B-24's durability and firepower.
- As a tribute to the heroic efforts of the "Strawberry Bitch" crew and the legacy of the B-24 Liberator, this 1:163 scale model captures the essence of this historic aircraft. Whether you are a history enthusiast, a collector of military models, or someone who admires the bravery of those who served, and this model is a testament to the enduring spirit and valor of the B-24 bomber. Display it with pride and honor the memory of the aircraft and its crew who played a vital role in the Allied victory.
