UPL 5597
IMAGEOne of the planes that my Dad, Zwinglio Frausto, was on the crew. This B-24 Aircraft was named after the song "Leave us face it (we're in love)" which debuted on the Dec 1943 show Duffy’s Tavern, sung by Dinah Shore. The song was written by Abe Burrows (aka "Archie" on the show) and Frank Loesser. (EZ Frausto) The image is from Tom Docherty's collection on forum.armyairforces.com
