Red Raider nose-art - brought to you by the folks at Aerothentic Publications

  B24J-65-CO 'Shoo SHoo Baby' serial # 42-100084

 

19th Bombardment Squadron

22nd Bombardment Group

Fifth Air Force

 

To the right of the explicit nose-art of Shoo-Shoo Baby can be seen the distinguished and easily discernible 'Red Raider' shield which so clearly marks this Liberator as belonging to the 22nd Bombardment Group.

This shield started appearing on the Group's Liberators in late 1944 onwards, and the shield color was, not surprisingly, bright red. This particular photo was taken on Owi Island in early 1944.
