Legends
Of Warfare and author David Doyle present Consolidated B-24. Vol. 1 The XB-24 To B-24E In World War II.
As a kid I loved sitting around with WWII veterans,
especially pilots, who would regale me with their stories of danger, adventure,
peril and tough times in the Pacific of European Fronts.
The B-24 Liberator was the most mass-produced Allied bombers
of WWII.
Over 19,000 were produced and sadly very few remain.
Carefully researched photos trace the development of the aircraft,
its various successful and failed missions, its flight crews and technical and
combat capabilities.
Interior and exterior photos guide readers through the workings
of the aircraft and bring to life the cramped interiors flight crews flew in.
The book is a wonderful depiction of a slice of WWII as
experienced by B-24 air crews.
