This plane, aircraft #42-31055 , PU-J , also known as "Aloha"  was battle damaged over Berlin
in 1943, then repaired and returned to action. It was later used as a "scouter aircraft", which I think is a plane flown out ahead
of the formation to check cloud cover over the targets. The interesting thing about this plane is that it doesn't seem to have a ball
turret.  I am not sure of the reason for this.  Aloha was flown by Col Preston, as the 41st CBW scouter command plane on the Feb 23 1945 mission to Zwicau  .   Aloha was declared war weary in March 1945, and retired.
