“The Consolidated B-24 Liberator was an American heavy bomber , designed by Consolidated Aircraft of San Diego, California . It was known within the company as the Model 32, and a small number of early models were sold under the name LB-30 , for Land Bomber. The B-24 was used in World War II by several Allied air forces and navies, and by every branch of the American armed forces during the war, attaining a distinguished war record with its operations in the Western European , Pacific , Mediterranean , and China-Burma-India Theaters .
Often compared with the better-known Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress , the B-24 was a more modern design with a higher top speed, greater range, and a heavier bomb load; it was also more difficult to fly, with heavy control forces and poor formation-flying characteristics.
Popular opinion among aircrews and general staffs tended to favor the B-17's rugged qualities above all other considerations in the European Theater.”
