Consolidated B-24 Liberator (Osprey Production Line to Frontline 4)

Consolidated B-24 Liberator (Osprey Production Line to Frontline 4) by O'Leary, Michael. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781841760230.

Commissioned to replace the B-17, the Liberator was built in near-record time. The machine was designed around the long-span low-drag Davis wing, a new concept at the time of production. Early models were soon superseded on all production lines by the J model, the most successful B-24 of all time. When production ceased on 31 May 1945, 18,475 Liberators had been made, making it the most produced American aircraft of WW2. A special feature in this book is a selection of wartime black and white photos and colour company advertisements, the latter not seen since the end of the war.
