I add to the fact the B-24 was the liberator bomber and the B-17 was called flying Fortress. Some of the views of the planes taking off was miss labeled. Just for the record I was a B-24 pilot and I have a you tube site and visit "ChasFoot:

B-24 Liberator
B-17 Flying Fortress
Saying B-17 Liberator is like saying Chevrolet Mustang.

While I think you should change the title of your video, I do have to say I like the footage you added of the movie Menphis Belle. One of my all time favorite movies. My Grandfather was a gunner trainer for B-24's during the war. Not trying to hate. Great video.

My Dad (87) was a tail gunner on a Lib. 453rd Bomb Group. Nice vid you have here, just wish there was more B-24s and fewer B-17s.

B 17 liberator?
You mean B 24

You and "Rollinto Stall" (first comment above) need to get clear with each other. I had it entitled "B-24 Liberators" originally and then changed it but I think you are right and am changing it back.

(continued) Which was his favorite ? He said that he loved them both, because they both brought him back, when no other bomber would have. He said the B-24 was harder to fly, but carried
A bigger bomb load and had a greater range than the B-17. God bless "Sparkie" Bourne.

He said he preferred the B-17's. He trained on them and they were easier to fly and more responsive. I believe he said the B-24's were more cumbersome - heavier maybe. As you say, it wasn't a way to enter the war safely although I think I would've rather been on the bombay door side of the payload than on the business end of all that tonnage.
