Info Contributor - Tom Brittan
Received at Old Buckenham in Apr 44 and was originally 734th as E8 A. On 1 May 44 , it was transferred to 735th as H6 P later P. It remained in 735th until 1 Apr 45 when it was transferred to 732nd with an unknown call letter.
It was known as (and nicknamed) "SHOO SHOO BABY" but the name was never painted on it. The name LIBERTY RUN and nose art of Santa Clause were added in Dec 44 on the occasion of a Christmas Party for children at Old Buckenham (which I had the privilege of attending). The plane was loaded with gifts for French children and flown to Paris-Orly.
