B-24 Liberators at forward field in France
Consolidated B-24 Liberators of the 15th Air Force lined up like a truck convoy at a forward field in France. These bombers, along with Douglas C-47's and A-20's of the 12th Air Force, made daily supply runs bringing in 100 octane gasoline, bombs and rations, making 12th Air Force Service Command's project of "Supply by Air" a reality. The service group, commanded by Col. Richard W. Phillips of Harrisburg, Pa., was charged with stocking these forward fields.
