For educational purposes<br /><br />From their background with flying boats, Con-solidated Aircraft Company would design the Liberator. <br /><br />From its two distinct large vertical stabilizers, tricycle landing gear and high lift Davis wing, the Liberator would be made in greater numbers than the more popular B-17. <br /><br />Operational in all theaters of the war and in other roles than a bomber (naval reconnaissance, anti-submarine warfare and as transports), the B-24 performed well and is one of the Great Planes. <br /><br />This film traces the development of the B-24 and shows operation in the different theaters including low level raids on Polesti. <br /><br />Excellent air-to-air photography and great examples of nose art, as counterpart to the B-17, the Liberator is one of the Great Planes.
