Walt Disney Character "THUMPER"
Info Contributor - James A. Leddy
Caption Reads: "Lt Crosby and crew of the 848th BS, 490th
BG pose beside their Consolidated B-24 THUMPER II at an 8th Air Force base in England. 24 Mar 44."
Info Contributor - Tom
Brittan
The 24 Mar 44 date is more likely to be before
departure from the U.S. because I don't think that the 490th BG air echelon
arrived in England before Apr or May 44. Transferred to MTO 5 Dec 44.
