An absolutely stunning photo of a Consolidated C-109 (converted B-24L) "fuel tanker" in service with 49TCS 313TCG. I have never seen any photo of one in Europe before. They mostly flew in fuel from Indiaover the 'Hump' into Chinese bases in 1944-45. This shot really made my day!!! Thanks Alan :-) Stig

A Ford-built B-24M (B-24M-30-FO), USAAF Ser. No. 44-51583, converted to an Electronic Warfare "Ferret" aircraft. As per the Joe Baugher site: www.joebaugher.com/usaf_serials/1944_4.html
[44-]51583 converted to FB-24 Ferret and fitted with special radar equipment APQ-13 and APA-6. The rear bomb bay was sealed off and converted into a sound proof room containing the radar spinner and miscellaneous radar equipment. Intended for use in Operation Olympic (the invasion of Japan), but was cancelled after VJ Day.
