Historical Information
The 701st Bombardment Squadron served with the 445th Bombardment Group, operating the Consolidated B-24 Liberator in the European air war. The group was based at Tibenham, England, as part of the Eighth Air Force.
The B-24's twin fins and broad wings provided prominent areas for national and formation-identification markings. Group and squadron markings helped distinguish aircraft within the large bomber formations assembled for operations over occupied Europe.
This set represents the conspicuous unit-identification treatment identified as high visibility in the product range. Such markings should be matched to the aircraft's date and finish rather than combined indiscriminately with earlier camouflage and code arrangements.
The 701st Squadron's unit identity is only one part of a complete aircraft scheme. Use a dated photograph to match the aircraft letter, serial, national insignia and tail treatment, especially when representing an individual Liberator rather than a general tabletop formation.
