B-24J USAAF 380th BG/528th BS "Flak Fled Flapper"

File Description:
This file contains a repaint for the payware Alphasim B-24 Liberator. "Flak Fled Flapper" was a B-24J that flew with the 528th BS/380th BG between june '44 and august'45. She flew 36 missions from Australia and another 42 from the Philippines. According to crew member George Grover the "Flapper" was a real person -- her name was Helene Chilton; she was an entertainer at Earl Carrol's nightclub in Hollywood. Joe Synar (Acft Cmdr) with several others went to Earl Carrol's; her picture was on the menu; they met her, and Joe took the menu with him to the SW Pacific area, where the artist (Dick Ebberson) drew her from the menu picture. A chaplain suggested there where no decorations on her so Joe had Dick put on two strings of beads! Repaint by Jan Kees Blom.
