MARION, Ill. (AP) — A rare World War II bomber will be housed in Marion for the next month.

The Consolidated B-24 Liberator “Diamond Lil” landed Monday afternoon at Williamson County Airport. The plane is part of the Commemorative Air Force museum. He says it arrived from Ohio and needs maintenance before it flies on to Wisconsin at the end of the month.

Southern Illinois University aviation students will be able to watch crews perform maintenance on the plane.

Tours also will be available July 19.
