I remember reading through this book as a teen, having checked it out numerous times from the library. I was interested in all things WWII. I still hold that interest, and when I was able to get my hands on a copy of my own, I gladly sent off my money. The text explains the value of the B-24 and it's myriad of contributions to the war effort. This truly was the workhorse of the American bombing effort, though the B-17 was a more attractive plane to look at, and therefore gets all the press. There are hundreds of excellent photographs, which help to place you in the midst of the action on all fronts, from Africa to Europe to the Pacific. This book is a must for any WWII buff.

As the son of a B-24 Liberator pilot, my dad and I both have gotten a great deal of enjoyment from this book. A true piece of history.

This is a very informative book on the career of the B-24s during WWII. It has many pictures showing actual missions and color pictures detailing the different color schemes used. Although it reads more like a text book it is very entertaining to read. Anyone looking to learn more about the awesome B-24's and the men who flew them should get this book!
