Description
The most famous aircraft flown by the 345th Bomb Group was TONDALAYO, named after Hedy Lamar's sultry character in the movie "White Cargo". TONDALAYO was an early replacement aircraft assigned to the 500th squadron on August 23, 1943, while the unit was converting its medium bombers into strafers. The name and insignia appeared on both sides as did the Varga style girl with Hedy Lamar's face, and in fact, the artwork of the girl originally was done by Alberto Varga and appeared in the ESQUIRE 1943 calendar as Miss June.
