airsuba Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 This is a very little known part of the WWII. Royal Yugoslav Air Force had a four B-24J bomber detachment in MTO in the USAAF's 15th Air Force. All four aircraft belonged to the USAAF's 15th Air Force, 47th BW, 376th BG, 512th BS, and had all-Yugoslav crews. Aircraft had individual numbers 20, 21, 22 and 23, they all bravely fought over Mediterranean and Balkans and only one aircraft, the number 23 of Capt. Vojislav Skakich survived the war. More about this subject can be found on this page http://www.376hbgva.com/history/yugoslavia/index.html Here in Serbia one good book with complete history about this unit was published in 2006. We, the Lift Here!, already did decals on this in 1/72 scale (decal set 748-LH http://lifthereserbia.wordpress.com/2010/0...rators-in-172/) but now we have this one for Liberators in 1/144. Special markings on these Yugoslav Liberators were Royal Yugoslav flags on the tails and small RYAF roundels on the aircraft nose, and also crews flew in RYAF uniforms. Maybe someone will find these sets interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
