The B-24 Liberator was built in greater numbers than any other US WW2
aircraft, and served in every theater of WW2, as heavy bomber,
anti-submarine aircraft, reconnaissance and transport. Produced in
several factories, there were many variations, both minor and major,
and existing literature is confusing and inaccurate. This book
describes the development of nose-turreted versions of the B-24 as
used by the USAAF, from field modification of early variants through
to the many production versions built by Consolidated, Ford, and
others, up to the definitive single-tailed B-24N. All aspects of the
airframe are covered, from nose to tail, and the bewildering variety
of turrets, guns, windows and other areas are described and
illustrated. Much of this information has never been published before,
and much that has been published is incomplete or inaccurate.
Profusely illustrated with photos and detailed scale drawings, this
book provides aviation enthusiasts and modelers the first complete
guide to this major warplane. Future volumes will cover early versions
without nose turrets, transport and anti-submarine versions, and
non-USAAF variants.
