The Consolidated-built machine was amongst the first B-24s assigned to the 93rd BG, know as "Ted's Traveling Circus" after its colorful CO, Co. Ted Timberlake. The cloverleaf worn by this machine denoted that the bomber had visited Northern Ireland to undergo modification, while the U-boat silhouette signified a claim of a German submarine sinking by the crew, while flying anti-U-boat patrols over the Gulf of Mexcio in mid-1942. Flown to Alconbury in September 1942 as part of the first wave of USAAF B-34s to arrive in England, 41-23711 participated in the Ploesti raid of August 1, 1943 and was eventually lost during a mission to Austria in October of that same year.
