Consolidated B-24 Vol 1: The XB-24 to B-24E Liberators in World War II

David Doyle

SKU: 85184
$19.99

Each chapter of this 112-page hardcover on the most produced multi-engine bomber is filled with photos, many in color, with detailed captions describing pertinent details, perfect for modelers.



Some might argue that the Liberator isn't as attractive as the sleek, streamlined B-17, but the faster B-24 earned its place in history by being the most produced multi-engine bomber and most-produced American military aircraft of all time. More than 18,000 were built from 1940-45 and they performed a variety of roles in addition to bombing, including maritime and antisubmarine patrol and transport.

If you plan to model one of the early Liberators, pick up David Doyle's terrific Consolidated B-24, Vol. 1: The XB-24 to B-24E Liberators in World War II from Schiffer's Legends of Warfare series. This 112-page hardcover follows the early development of Consolidated's heavy bomber with chapters devoted to each variant from the single prototype XB-24 through the British procured YB-24s rebuilt as LB-30A transports and Liberator Is. From there Doyle outlines the differences between the B-24A, Liberator II, and B-24C, before spending considerable time on the iconic B-24D. He wraps up with short chapters devoted to the Liberator III/GR.V, C-87 transport, the one-off XB-41 gunship, F-7 recon bird, and B-24E. Each chapter is filled with photos, many in color, with detailed captions describing pertinent details, perfect for modelers.
