The Consolidated B-24 Liberator first saw combat in June of 1942, making a daring raid into Nazi-occupied Romania to bomb the oil fields at Ploesti. Nearly 18,500 Liberators were built during the war years, making it by far the most-produced American combat aircraft. It served in many roles beyond heavy bomber, transport, and anti-submarine patrol, and flew in Africa, Europe, India, the Atlantic, India and the Pacific Theatre. Originally printed by the United States Army Air Force in 1942, the B-24 Liberator Pilot's Flight Operating Manual taught pilots everything they needed to know before entering the cockpit. Originally classified "Restricted," the manual was declassified long ago and is here reprinted in book form. This affordable facsimile has been reformatted, and color images appear as black and white. Care has been taken however to preserve the integrity of the text.

The B-24 was a four-engine heavy bomber used during the Second World War. The main characteristics of the Liberator are the shape of the wing (called Davis), narrow and elongated positioned in the mid-high area of the fuselage, the tail consists in two drifts oval in shape and, most important, the carriage in position tricycles. This allowed the pilots to be able to look directly at the track out of the cab without having to meander during taxiing planes as they had the spare wheel in the queue. It was a very versatile machine, but not too popular with crews because unlike his predecessor B-17, which had proved incredibly robust being able to return to base with vital parts badly damaged, the B-24 was not can withstand severe damage in combat. Paradoxically, this was due to its advanced structural characteristics (especially the wing, designed with laminar profiles and high aerodynamic characteristics) that were translated but in a weak structure, that often, if hit in the strengths, could divest of cracking net. Despite its weaknesses, ended the war as the US air more built (over 18,000 aircraft) and together with the B-17 bomber immediately became the leading USAAF. Slightly bigger, faster as the B-17 had a share against lower operational and this meant that was hit and knocked down more frequently at the hands of enemy air defenses. Heavily armed, was equipped with 10 Browning machine guns caliber 12.7mm positioned on turrets. The B-24, however, it was very difficult to fly and with its fairly rigid controls did not make life easy for pilots especially in maintaining the tight formations. Access to the crew was in the back of the plane. To get to the cockpit of the inside passage was very tight especially considering that he also wore a parachute. Very often this difficulty in the transition to head forzaramente queued compromised the ability to save in case it was necessary to launch the plane in flight because it was the only way out. For this reason, the Liberator was nicknamed by the crews "The Flying Coffin".

The Consolidated B-24 Liberator was almost certainly the most versatile Second World War Bomber. Apart from its bombing role in all theaters of operation, the B-24 hauled fuel to France during the push towards Germany, carried troops, fought U-boats in the Atlantic and, probably most important of all, made a vital contribution towards winning the war in the Pacific. Its most famous single exploit is possibly the raid on the Ploesti oil fields in August 1943.The B-24 ended World War Two as the most produced Allied heavy bomber in history, and the most produced American military aircraft at over 18,000 units, thanks in large measure to Henry Ford and the harnessing of American industry. It still holds the distinction as the most produced American military aircraft. The B-24 was used by several Allied air forces and navies, and by every branch of the American armed forces during the war, attaining a distinguished war record with its operations in the Western European, Pacific, Mediterranean and China-Burma-India theaters.This book focuses on the design, engineering, development and tactical use of the many variants throughout the bombers service life. The overall result is, as David Lee, the former Deputy Director of the Imperial War Museum at Duxford said upon reading the final manuscript, to be acquainted with ...all you never knew about the B-24!The book is enlivened by the many dramatic photographs which feature, and this coupled with the clarity of Simons' prose makes for an engaging and entertaining history of this iconic Allied bomber, a key component in several of their biggest victories and a marvel of military engineering.

Although overshadowed, to a large extent, by the B-17 Flying Fortress the B-24 Liberator was made in greater quantity, and used by more Allied air forces on every front of the Second World War. The first operational models were used by the Royal Air Force as a transport on the North Atlantic ferry service. The RAF Liberator I, used both as a bomber in North Africa and as a long-range Coastal Command patroller, had ASV (air-to-surface vessel) radar and four 20mm cannons. Its armament was greatly improved when powered turrets in the tail and mid-upper positions were incorporated into the Liberator II. As a heavy bomber it saw service in the Pacific with the USAAF; in North Africa and Italy with the RAF and USAAF. Specially equipped Liberators were also used to drop agents and equipment in Occupied Europe on behalf of the OSS (Office of Strategic Service), SOE (Special Operations Executive) and SIS (Secret Intelligence Service, also known as MI6).

Martin W. Bowman examines the career of the B-24 Liberator, from its design in 1939 through all theatres of World War Two to the present, where a precious few airframes survive. With over 200 rare photographs this is a detailed and absorbing book on a significant airplane.

The B-24 was heavily utilised in the North African and Mediterranean theatres by the USAAF's Fifteenth Air Force, with operations over the Ploesti oilfields in Rumania being some of the most famous missions undertaken by the big American 'heavy' in World War 2. The stirling work of the Fifteenth Air Force is often overshadowed by the glamorous 'Mighty Eighth', yet the men flying the B-24 fought ceaselessly right through to VE Day. This is the third of five titles planned to chart the operational history of the Consolidated heavy bomber, and is the first single volume to exclusively cover the Fifteenth Air Force's B-24 units.
