This review is from: B-24 Liberator in Action - Aircraft No. 80 (Paperback)

Anyone interseted in the history and use of the Consolidated B-24 Liberator during WWII will find this book a great reference guide. It is well written. Organized in chornological sequence documenting the B-24 from pre-war design and manufacturing through the life span of the plane, this book includes descriptions of modifcations and design enhancements implemented during the war. The B-24's use as a strategic and combat weapon is vividly described. The photos are outstanding. This large, 60 page paperback will appeal to readers of all ages.

This review is from: B-24 Liberator in Action - Aircraft No. 80 (Paperback)

This does a good job of describing the unsung workhorse of a bomber that was the B24. The B17 got the glory and the movies. The poor B24 got Ploiesti. It is a great capture of the bomber and it's too many variants, for one that really only had 3 models in mass production. Good illustrations znd photos as I have come to expect from this publisher.

All of the "In Action Series" are very good value for your money. You get short but thorough developmental history, plenty of B&W photos and color examples as well. The best thing about these books is they show you with drawings and photos the differences between versions of the plane.

This book is excellent for modlers and those who want a quick authoritative read on an interesting weapon system that helped the Allies win the war. Great for the price, definately recommend the book.
