"DON AMECHE" - Renamed to CENSORED after transfer to 11th BG

Contributor - Robert Livingstone

Modified in the ZI at OCAD as a B-24D1, received by the 7th AF on 17 Oct 43 & assigned to 30th BG / 819th BS. Later the names "Joy" & "Rosie" disappeared and "Don Ameche" appeared inside the original lettering. Transferred to 11th BG / 431st BS and all lettering removed and replaced with CENSORED. It survived its combat career to become an RB-24D, suffered a taxi accident at Eniwetok on 14 Aug 45 and is listed as "CON OBS" (scrapped as obsolete = not worth repairing) on 27 Sep 45.
