| pm , PA | Actually only 702 was a YB-24 and it was reconfigured.into the only B-24 ( no series - basic model). The first six went to the. UK as transports while the USAAF serial numbers were deffered. The longer nosed olive drab plane is a B_24D from Dec 41 - January 42 assigned of of the six deffered serial numbers as its radio call number in abbreviated form.
