First delivered to the USAAF as 44-44175 in September 1944, this B-24 was passed straight on to the RAF as Liberator GR.VI KH304 that November. The British abandoned many Liberators in India at the end of the war, India putting several back into service after independence and using them until the late 1960s. After storage at Chakeri this aircraft was assigned the serial HE877 by the Indian AF in 1948. In March 1969 it was ferried from Poona to Tucson via the UK. Now displayed with Indian markings on the right side, with the left in the 1944 colours of the 446th BG, Bungay, Suffolk, England.

Originally an American Airlines machine and later flown by ATA, Laker, and Cal Air/Novair, Project Orbis acquired this DC-10 (line number 2) in 1991 and equipped it as the flying eye hospital. After retirement, arrived at Pima in November 2016. MD-10 N330AU now fulfils the eye hospital role.

On display for many years in its final identity, N534J, in 2007 this Dragon was repainted in its smart 1950 colours as it flew for Great Lakes Carbon as N61Y. Originally delivered to the USAAC in 1950 as 39-051, the B-23 was based on the DC-3 and intended as a replacement for the B-18, which had in turn been based on the DC-2. Only 38 were built and the type never saw combat.
