Tucker,

I hate to contradict you, but that is a B-24J in Phillips’ painting of “No Empty Bunks Tonight.” I happen to own a print of it and am looking at it right now. I bought it because my father was a nose gunner on the B-24J.

Here is a link:

Gramps was saying that the B24 was a better plane than the B17 - the only reason of the notoriety of the B17 was the movie “Twelve O’clock High” - he says the flight deck on a B24 was like super comfortable for one thing, secondly it flew higher and faster and carried a bigger bomb load ...

Thanks for the info about your father, and the link to the picture of the B-24J.
