Under the Southern Cross
Follow Australian author, Bob Livingstone as he follows the B-24 Liberator as it arrives in Australia during the turning point of the war against Japan and enables attacks to penetrate deep into Japanese held territory. The B-24 was the most numerous USAAF heavy bomber based in Australia and New Guinea in the most desperate phase of the Pacific War, and the first four-engine heavy bomber to serve with Royal Australian Air Force home squadrons. Includes many never before published photographs and an index.
B-24 Liberator
* The not-to-be-missed, triumphant story of the B-24 Liberator bomber--the most heavily produced American military aircraft ever--told through veterans' priceless first-person recollections and snapshots * Defines the B-24's role in winning WWII, drawing on Air Force archival records and combat photos * Covers technical innovations of the V-24: the tricycle landing gear, as well as a sophisticated airfoil and flap design
B-24 Liberator Units of the Eighth Air Force
The B-24 Liberator was built in greater numbers than any other US warplane, yet its combat crews live, even today, in the shadow of the less plentiful, but better-known, B-17. This is their fully-illustrated history. Accounts of the 'Mighty Eighth' in Europe, and indeed many of the books and films that emerged from the greatest air campaign in history, often overlook the B-24, even though it was in action for as long as the Flying Fortress, and participated in just as many perilous daylight bombing missions. Featuring photography and illustrations throughout, Robert F Dorr's account of these units is ideal for aviation and World War Two enthusiasts.
B-24 in China
Electrifying chronicle of top-secret bomber missions with the famous Flying Tigers This book records the World War II experiences of Capt. Elmer E. Haynes, who flew low-altitude night radar strikes against Japanese shipping in the South China Sea and daylight raids against various enemy land-based installations in eastern and central China. Haynes flew secretly developed B-24 Liberator bombers that were equipped with radar that had been integrated with the Norden Bombsight for night missions. These B-24s operated with the 14th Air Force--General Chennault's Flying Tigers. The bombing attacks were so accurate and successful that, in a little over a year, Haynes and his fellow pilots sank approximately a million tons of Japanese shipping.
B-24 Liberator Units of the Fifteenth Air Force
The sterling 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. 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. This is the third of five titles charting 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.
Consolidated B-24 Liberator
One of a series of books designed for the layman which looks at military aircraft that have recently arrived in the marketplace. Special emphasis is placed on the design and performance aspects of the aircraft and detailed technical specifications are included.
Consolidated B-24 Liberator
The Consolidated B-24 Liberator was the Second World War’s most numerous Allied heavy bomber and – at over 18,000 made – the most produced American military aircraft. It was operated by several Allied air forces (including the USAAF and the RAF) and navies, attaining a distinguished war record on operations in the Western European, Pacific, Mediterranean and China-Burma-India theatres. Graeme Douglas has been granted privileged access to several airworthy examples of the B-24 in the USA to give an unrivalled insight into the construction, operation and maintenance of this classic heavy bomber.
Consolidated B-24 Liberator
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 sti...
