Product Description

From the Manufacturer

This collectible B-24 Liberator represents Witchcraft, one of only three flyable B-24 Liberators left ion the world. Owned and operated by the B-17 Flying Fortress, the Liberator was a four-engine heavy bomber that operated worldwide during World War II. Painstakingly built from Philippine mahogany by our skilled craftsmen with a wealth of detail, this 1/60-scale model B-24 makes a great aviation gift for any pilot or history buff. The B-24 Liberator didn’t grab the public attention the way its stablemate, the B-17 Flying Fortress did. The Liberator was a more modern design than the B-17, with greater speed, range and bomb load. However, it was tough to fly, requiring a heavy hand on the controls and was difficult to fly in formation. Its “Davis” wing, with its high aspect ratio, was very efficient, but the Liberator could not tae as much damage as a B-17 and keep flying. Despite its drawbacks, the B-24 Liberator was produced in great numbers than any other American military aircraft, before or since, with more than 18,400 built by September 1945. About 12,000 Liberators were used by the Army Air Forces, with about 1,800 used by the U.S. Navy as the PB4Y-1 and PB4Y-2 Privateers for its ability to conduct very long range maritime patrols. The B-24 was 67', 8" long, with a wingspan of 110'. With a maximum takeoff weight of 65,000 pounds, the Liberator could carry up to 8,000 pounds of bombs on short flights. The crew of seven to 10 men could defend the bomber with 10 machine guns – four pair in powered turrets and two waist gun positions.
