B-24, about to be cut up for scrap.

 

B-17, about to meet the same fate, look at all the bombing missions, all that for scrap metal...

 

Wasn't the Hilux made by Datsun?

 

Consolidated B-32's, the scrapyard was supposed to save one for the Air Force Museum, but it got cut up, now none left...

 

Hilux = Toyota

 

Ah so! Thanks.

 

This B-24, "The Dragon and His Tail," was reproduced on a flying B-24, think it was the Colling Foundation restored plane, they have since changed it, but this art was at least recaptured:

 

Sounds like you know more about it then me.I'll take your word for it.I never heard of them before.Datsun yes Hilux no

 

This about-to-be scrapped B-17 has been signed, often the aircraft factory workers would sign a significant aircraft, with the name, maybe this was the 5,000 B-17 that rolled off the assembly line?

 

The vehicle is marketed as a Hilux here in Aus and a couple of other countries, I think it is badged as a Tundra in the US.

Hi, George. Sorry, I don't know anyone from the Southern California area. I'm just sort of a Buick guy with a collection of old photos related to Buicks. Would like to have known some of those folks, however, and been around during that era! -BJ

 

maybe its just air blowing out of that right front tire.......................ya think?

 

I would kill to have that little fiat to play with.............

 

It's a Simca rather than a Fiat. They were also used in drag racing.

 

Oh yeah, I see it on the spare hub cap. Sure looked like a Topolino.
