B-24s flown by the 34th Bomb Group

Where possible I show the name of the plane. I put question marks by the name if I still have some reservations about that name. If you can help identify any of the so far un-named planes, or have information that differs from my list, please contact me at ferrellumm@netscape.net and I thank you for your assistance.
