Hello everyone.

I am converting the 1/48th Monogram B-24 to represent the C-87 "Guess where to" that was the first dedicated "Air Force One" (President Roosevelt apparently never used it, but the First Lady did). I would like to know if any photos exists of how the name was painted on the nose, and also what was the tail number painted on the tail, as one claimed photo of it differ in tail number from the number quoted in "Wikipedia".

Thanks to anyone who might be able to help.

Gaston
