B-24 Liberator at War

The B-24 Liberator was the most widely used four-engined aircraft of World War II with a total of 19 256 being built. Built with Pacific distances in mind the B-24 had a very long range and served the U.S. Army Air Force in both Europe and the Pacific and also equipped RAF squadrons in Burma. The true character of such a long-serving aircraft cannot be deduced from its technical specifications and this classic account draws on many first-hand experiences of those who actually flew the plane. The B-24s most important moments are covered along with less well-known operations all backed up with numerous photographs.
