• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Overview History Discussion
This file contains a repaint for the payware Alphasim B-24 Liberator. "Flak Fled Flapper" was a B-24J that flew with the 528th BS/380th BG between june '44 and august'45. She flew 36 missions from Australia and another 42 from the Philippines. According to crew member George Grover the "Flapper" was a real person -- her name was Helene Chilton; she was an entertainer at Earl Carrol's nightclub in Hollywood. Joe Synar (Acft Cmdr) with several others went to Earl Carrol's; her picture was on the menu; they met her, and Joe took the menu with him to the SW Pacific area, where the artist (Dick Ebberson) drew her from the menu picture. A chaplain suggested there where no decorations on her so Joe had Dick put on two strings of beads! Repaint by Jan Kees Blom.
