That's an interesting paint scheme on these B-24's. Is this a work-in-progress paint scheme, or some attempt at
camoflague? Notice the row to the far right is all olive drab.

Nuch

These are B24E's built by Ford at the then Ford owned Willow Run plant. The paint scheme is not a work in progress but rather an attempt at camouflaging. I cannot tell by the B/W photo but these are likely Marine or Desert destined planes based on the camouflage so as to make it harder to see them from below against the bright sun or grey clouds.
