41-29388 Slick Chick

The foremost aircraft in the front row is B-24H-20-FO "No Name” 42-94910. The aircraft immediate behind ‘910' is B-24H-15-CF "Tender Comrade” 41-29369. Next is B-24H-20-DT 'Wolves Inc.' 41-28981 and then B-24H-15-CF 'Slick Chick' 41-29388. The next is thought to be B-24J-140-CO "Old Iron Pants/The Perfect Lady” 42-110168. In the rear row, the first aircraft can’t be identified. The second aircraft is B-24H-20-FO ’No Name' 42-94963. Next is B-24H-15-CF 'Slugger Jr.' 41-29397. The next aircraft can’t be determined. The next, and last identified, is our favorite...B-24H-15-FO “Witchcraft" 42-52534.
It is thought that the aircraft in the very far distance on the left are gliders (CG-4a’s?) used by the 101st Airborne that was stationed at Welford.
