    Flying in this aircraft would be fun in the south Pacific as long as the Japanese were not around.

    I guess you guys need a huge hint. :rolleyes:

    It was built by the Short Brothers in Belfast Ireland.

    If you buy a shirt, usually it has a lable that says "Made in XXXXXXXX"

    This one won't be hard, but I post in honor of my friend's dad. As far as I can research, he served as bombardier in this plane.

    Correct. More specifically, a PB4Y-1, navalized version of the Liberator. The PB4Y-2 was a more heavily modified B-24 with a longer fuselage, single vertical stabilizer, and deleted turbochargers.

    Your turn.

    I will stay with the naval bomber theme. This plane is very overlooked in WWII.

    I'd hazard a guess its some variant of a Vickers Warwick bomber, but I'm not sure which variant! :)

    This aircraft gets very little written about it for some reason.

    Martin Maryland aka Martin 187. These were originally ordered by France. After that country fell the aircraft were delivered through Lend-Lease to Britain (and already paid for too!). Used in the Mediterrainian theater mostly as reconnissance aircraft because of their relatively high speed.
    A few in French hands were in North Africa when the US invaded. These soldiered on in the FFAF afterwards.
