First delivered to the USAAF as 44-44175 in September 1944, this B-24 was passed straight on to the RAF as Liberator GR.VI KH304 that November. The British abandoned many Liberators in India at the end of the war, India putting several back into service after independence and using them until the late 1960s. After storage at Chakeri this aircraft was assigned the serial HE877 by the Indian AF in 1948. In March 1969 it was ferried from Poona to Tucson via the UK. Now displayed with Indian markings on the right side, with the left in the 1944 colours of the 446th BG, Bungay, Suffolk, England.

Built as 44-44272, served with the RAF as KH401, then the Indian AF as HE771. Sold in USA as N94459, painted as "42-50551". It is seen being prepared for some painting during its stay at Duxford en-route from India to the USA which took a couple of years. Displayed at the Fantasy of Flight in Florida.

Assigned serial 44-44175 as a B-24J but delivered to the RAF as a Liberator GR.VI KH304. SOC on 11 Apr 1946 and transferred to the Indian Air Force as HE877. On return to the USA allocated registration N7866 and delivered to the museum at Pima for display' The opposite side the aircraft was painted in USAAF colours with its original serial 444175.

B-24s were used to haul fuel to Kunming in September 1944. On this date, 6 September 1944, twenty-four B-24s flew in about 34,000 US gallons according to the Pacific Wrecks website. That means a cargo of about 8300 lb per aircraft, which is consistent with the maximum bombload of a fully equipped B-24J. Photo from: National Archives at College Park, Maryland

B-24J actual serial number 44-44272, rolls down runway 32 at March AFB.

Struck off charge in 1952. This may have been paperwork catching up and it could have already been scrapped. 21 Squadron's aircraft had been stored at Tocumwal, NSW, from 1946 and there was large scale scrapping of B-24s there around 1950. Photo from: Library and Archives NT
