Type 10 is shown with the Model L Description

 

 

TYPE 11 -
FORD B-24 M-FO

  Examples include POM POM EXPRESS (168) and STATE SIDE STUFF (189)
   

TYPE 12 -
M-FO MODELS

 
 


B-24M-FO with redesigned canopy/windscreen, otherwise similar to other late model Ford Production

Willow Run made one last change to their B-24s with the introduction of the M-25-FO model; they made the front part of the canopy "V" shaped by taking out the flat center panel and the two triangular air vent windows.  Aircraft with this modification had serials that began with 44-51252.  Very few of these planes found their way into the 380th's inventory.
