This Consolidated B-24D Liberator represents USAAF 376th BG, 512th BS aircraft 42-72843 “Strawberry Bitch” from Benghazi, Libya during the Ploesti Raid of August 1943. Tied to one of the most famous low-level bombing missions of the war, it gives this Liberator a strong Mediterranean theatre identity and real historical weight.
A standout addition to any WWII USAAF bomber collection, especially for displays focused on named aircraft and major wartime operations. Ideal for display and for collectors who enjoy historically significant heavy bombers with mission-linked markings.
