The Dakota Queen was a B-24 Liberator, which saw action in World War II. This nose art is assigned to the B-1 piloted by the 28th Bomb Wing commander. The B-24 was put into service because the Army Air Corps needed a bomber with greater range, higher ceiling, and faster speed than the B-17 Flying Fortress.
