There were at least three other B24s named "Blondes Away".

yeah, found that looking for his... the one above is the one he was in.
i did some research for him a while back to find this pic (he did not have a single one from the war).
other than that, i dont know a ton about the plane, only what he has told me. sadly i am the only one who will talk or ask him about the war, my buddie is into it to, but doesnt know what to ask about. the rest of the family goes "oh no, more war stories" and leaves the room when i ask him.
asking him about Polesti, he went into the other room and brought out his book on the raid, with TONS of pages marked where friends and himself are mentioned. little hand notes in the side, newspaper clippings, a whole collage of information. he really gets into showing it to me too. sadly, he watched some of his best friends planes get blown out of the sky during the raid, and recounts the times very somberly.
FYI his last name is Peterlous (i believe thats the correct spelling) of anyone wants to look inot skinning his plane.
