SPARE BOMBERSHanger Queens repaired and ready for Mission 35.Submit a request if you need a spare while your bomber is being repaired.Note: Repairs to Hanger Queens take twice as long, as they do not have dedicated Ground Crews and they may be temporarily cannibalized for parts for the regular bombers.
Replacement (not spare) B-24s will be J Models, with the Emerson A-15 Electric Nose Turret.
