  • You are correct. In the book "Wild Blue," Stephen Ambrose documented the losses on take-off and landing suffered by the "Liberators" which were unforgiving compared with the "Flying Fortresses." A Fort could take much more punishment from both flak and fighters, and still bring most of the crew home. It was also a steadier bombing platform - not to mention how beautifully streamlined it was.

  • but neither stack up to teh B52 strato-fortress

  • you would never see just one.

  • The B-24 was only a better plane on PAPER..her combat losses in the ETO were 20% higher then the B-17s.. In 1944,Generals Spatz & Doolittle reqested more B-17s & less b-24s and converted five bomb groups from b24s back to b17s...The 17 was the far tougher aircraft...

  • The b24 was the better heavy, but couldn't fly as high.

  • THAT AIRPLANE IS A PIECE OF SHIT
