'B' Flight number 1 was an American B-24 Liberator of 'B' Flight that flew bombing missions during World War II, notably a bombing mission on November 8th, 1942 that softened sea and ground defenses around Oran to prepare for the following ground invasion. It can be seen in Call of Duty 2: Big Red One in the level Liberators.
During the mission to weaken defenses around Oran, 'B' Flight number 1 suffered heavy structural damage from ground fire and three of the seven crew members were killed during the flight.
The player takes control of multiple weapons on the B-24 to destroy enemy planes and to bomb targets on the ground. The plane can be destroyed, resulting in death and having to restart the mission.
