Ah, love the newsies and their mangling of the facts.

"This aircraft was used as an escort bomber, and was very popular in
Wilmington during WWII."

Escort bomber? I suppose they probably meant bomber escort, but
sheesh...

And certainly it was very popular, as Bluenthal Field was a P-47
training base.
