Wow, thanks, Dave. Another one surfaces. I’ll add it to my listing. Interesting story. More digging perhaps warranted.

Allentown Morning Call, August 9, 1946:



Ibid, August 13, 1946:

Perkasie, PA News-Herald, August 15, 1946; looks like it was surplused out of Bush Field, GA:

Morning Call, August 30, 1947:

Hmm. Not connected, except one of the two also came from Bush Field:



I'd like to find out the rest of that story!

Morning Call, May 7, 1951 - a Civil Air Patrol exercise:



Ibid, May 8, 1954 - looks like the end is near:



Bristol Daily Courier, same date:



And that's all I could find - unless their historical society or the local Boy Scouts council has something.

I went to add this Quakertown B-24 to my RFC listing and...it is already there. It was identified by Nick Veronico some time ago as B-24E 41-7127.
