Nose art painted by Annette 'Toni' Robin
380th Bomb
Group
Australia & New Guinea
BLACK MAGIC B24 (?) 528th
Squadron
Although unconfirmed, this appears to be the repainted version of the
original "Black Magic" after it was badly shot up by Japanese fighters and crash
landed at Fenton. However, it may be another similarly named Liberator either painted
by Toni Robin or copied by another artist altogether since the native girl strikes an
identical pose to the original -- but is clutching a palm tree.
The titling is also in a far more elaborate and decorative style than the original.
If anyone can offer further information on this aircraft I would appreciate hearing
from them.
