History of the Air and Space Center's B-24 
This B-24 was first registered by the US Army Air Force (USAAF), as 8-24D-CON, Tail Number 42-40461. It was then transferred to Royal Air Force and in turn to the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) as part of the US lend lease program. It never flew in Europe. This B-24 was used by the RCAF Coastal Command, Tenth Canadian Bomber Reconnaissance Squadron, Newfoundland, from May 1943 to 1945 as a long range general reconnaissance and submarine chaser. It was equipped with an Anti Surface Vessel Radom to enhance it's German submarine detection capability. 

After World War lI this B-24 was stored on a farm in Alberta, Canada. It was recovered in 1972 by Yesterday's Aircraft, Chino, CA and disassembled for transport by train. It was badly damaged during transit, when the train derailed, and only the forward sections was salvaged. 

It was placed on display at March AFB California, In 1991, when the Air Force left March AFB, the 8-24 was transferred to the Virginia Air and Space Center and has been on display here ever since.
