This is the only book on this great airplane to really show the incredible contribution that it made in World War II. Production is covered first. Every version of this plane is covered, including navy patrol bombers, reconnaissance, cargo, tanker,and postwar use as executive transports and borate bombers. More than that, every theatre it participated in is described, which is pretty much every theatre in the war. Every unit that used the Liberator in combat is covered with photographs and a brief operational history. It does not stop with its use in the Pacific and the European theaters, it also covers more obscure use such as the Caribbean, Alaskan, antisubmarine use world wide as well as foriegn use. Where else will you find use of the B-24 and its derivatives in India, China, South Africa, and by the French? Also covered are the serial numbers for each version, which is helpful when determining the version you have in that old snapshot. This book is packed to the gills with information and photographs, including a fine color section. Whenever I want to know something about this airplane, this is the first book I reach for. I cannot give it enough praise. The title says it all. This truly was America's global bomber. If you like Liberators, this book is for you. Get yours before the price gets too outragious!
