Shady Lady (aircraft)
''Shady Lady'' was a Consolidated B-24 Liberator aircraft that in August 1943 flew one of World War II's longest bombing missions, from Darwin in Australia to the oil refineries at Balikpapan in the East Kalimantan province on the island of Borneo, Indonesia.
Shortly before running out of fuel on the return flight from the target, ''Shady Lady'' was crash-landed on a remote salt pan in northern Western Australia after flying for 16 hours and 35 minutes. With help from the people in the
Aboriginal community, ''Shady Lady'' was eventually repaired and flew back to base.
==380th Bombardment Group==
''Shady Lady'' was part of the 380th Bombardment Group which flew B-24 bombers in the South West and Western Pacific areas in WWII. Known as the "Flying Circus" and "King Of The Heavies", the 380th Bombardment Group went overseas in April 1943 and was placed under the control of the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) and assigned to the Australian North West Area Command operating out of Darwin, Northern Territory.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=380th Bombardment Group )〕
