Liberators for the French in North Africa

[Spinners 15,986]

Consolidated B-24D Liberator - GB II/20 Bretagne, Free French Air Force, Tunisia, 1943

 

 

 

 

 

 

Veltro2K's new B-24D - very nice!

Weren't the Croix de Lorrain roundel worn only on the side, whereas the wings sported the standart ones alongside the Croix de Lorraine? 

 

Interesting, though, and not far stretched given the fact France ordered a big batch of Liberator during the Phoney war. They were supposed to enter front line service in late 1941-1942 and wreak havoc above Germany.

Just a personal preference mate and actually allowable in the 'what if' section!

Of course it is allowable! :)

Yes, we don't want any rivet counters in this twisted neighborhood.

My intervention was more "if you want to do a what-if plane but with an historical paint scheme, then...". I wasn't rivet counting, I like very much your what ifs. :)
