| Description: |
The B-24 Liberator was built in greater numbers than any other US warplane. Accounts of the 'Mighty Eighth' in Europe, and indeed many of the books and films that emerged from the air campaign in history, often overlook the B-24, even though it was in action for as long as the Flying Fortress, and participated in as daylight bombing missions. |
| Synopsis: |
The B-24 Liberator was built in greater numbers than any other US warplane, yet its combat crews live, even today, in the shadow of the less plentiful, but better-known, B-17. Accounts of the 'Mighty Eighth' in Europe, and indeed many of the books and films that emerged from the greatest air campaign in history, often overlook the B-24, even though it was in action for as long as the Flying Fortress, and participated in just as many perilous daylight bombing missions. |
