The B-24 Liberator remains to this day the world's most-produced heavy
bomber and multi-engine aircraft, and the most produced military
aircraft in US history, with almost 19,000 examples leaving the assembly
lines of five plants. Through a broad range of photos gathered from
around the world, this book chronicles the design, development, and
wartime use of the iconic early models of the B-24--those featuring the
so-called "glass nose"--from the assembly line to their use in the
famous raid on the refineries at Ploesti, Romania, in 1943. The story of
these iconic early WWII aircraft is told through carefully researched
photos, many of which have never before been published, which are
reproduced in remarkable clarity. Large clear photos, coupled with
descriptive and informative captions, unlock the secrets of this
aircraft. Part of the Legends of Warfare series.
