Pima's Frankenplanes! B-24J Liberator "Bungay Buckaroo"

In the final part of our Pima's Frankenplanes series, the ‪@PimaAirSpaceMuseum‬'s CEO Scott Marchand and Director of Collections Andrew Boehly explain the careful considerations behind displaying the collection's Consolidated B-24J Liberator "Bungay Buckaroo". Together, they tell the remarkable story of the museum's first major addition and its journey home to the USA from India and why an Indian B-24 is displayed in two sets of markings, including those 6 Squadron Indian Air Force and of the 446th Bomb Group.

The Indian airforce replace them with Lockheed constellations and after the Connie’s wore out the bear bomber replaced those .
