Seven Day Leave lived a charmed life with the 22nd Bombardment Group, and was never lost to combat or operations. She was a D model strafer, and is seen here at Port Moresby, probably towards the end of 1943.

Note the Marston matting underneath the aircraft. This steel matting was used throughout the Pacific during WW2, and at the end of the war the biggest surplus dumps of this material were at Henderson Field. What is little known is that just after the Korean war the U.S military collected the stocks at Henderson and shipped them to the Korean front-line airfields.
