    Now, my question arises. 

    Why some Ploesti raid Liberators were finished in OD/NG and others in Sand colors?

    By accident?

     

    The first B-24 to initiate an attack against the refineries, B-24D-25-CO, serial number 41-24294 of the 512th Bomb Squadron, 376th Bomb Group, Brewery Wagon.  This aircraft was delivered to the USAAF in standard olive drab over neutral gray camouflage paint in December, 1942 and out of all the locations in a world war it could have gone it eventually found its way to North Africa where it was assigned to the 376th Bomb Group.
