Formed in September 1943, VMB-433 was one of 16 Marine Corps units to be equipped with PBJ-1s in World War II – some 706 were delivered to the USMC by North American. Seven of these units would see action with the aircraft in the Southwest Pacific in the hot and bloody war fought against the Japanese in the Solomon Islands chain. VMB-433 commenced combat operations with MAG-61 on Green Island in July, 1944, flying dreaded night bombing missions. The unit remained in action until February, 1945, when it returned to the US and was deactivated. This particular aircraft was one of the very few PBJs to be adorned with nose art – an uncommon practice in the Marine Corps in World War II.

• Includes metal hand painted figures
