Clearly a product of Al Merkling's vivid imagination, this camera-equipped F-7A version of the B24 was assigned to 1Lt Roy Hunt and flew overseas from Hunter Field, GA, on 10th February 1944. The aircraft is believed to have flown its first mission on 6th May to Hollandia but poor weather prevented any photos being brought back. So far only three other missons have been established and further information is sought.
