Consolidated's B-24 Liberator was one of the most costly and complicated aircraft produced by the US during WWII. It was produced in greater numbers than any other US bomber. 19,000 were built and served all over the globe as a bomber, transport, and long-range anti-submarine aircraft. This is a detailed examination of the design, development and use of the B-24 - the backbone of the USAAF bombing offensive during WWII. Extensively illustrated with over 200 archive photographs. Exceptional!
