How to fly the B-24 Liberator: straight from the B-24 Flight Manual (See also "How to Fly the B-24D Liberator" videos from Zeno's Warbird Video Drive-In -- offsite. Will open a new browser window)

Two cartoons from the B-24 Flight Manual: "Diving Ain't Healthy" & "Low Banks Ain't Healthy"

Gorgeous color picture of a Liberator's Instrument Panel. A shot taken from a lower vantage point and one from the Co-Pilot side of the plane, behind the seats.

Which is best: the -24 or the -17? A poem by Jim Jones answers this question (Warning Fort lovers!)

The Collings Foundation's "All American" pictures taken by Richard Cherkauer.

And some of the same plane painted as 'The Dragon and His Tail", taken by H. K. "Andy" Anderson who flew around 3 missions in the original "Dragon". Mr. Anderson writes that he's confident that the "Dragon's" original artist was Sarkis Bartigian who also painted "Mabel's Labels", "Michigan" and "Cocktail Hour". This nose artist was described by Steve Birdsall, in his book "The Log of the Liberators", as "the greatet combat artist of the war".

And here are two pix taken by Shad Shaddox of the Ole Dragon and His Tail:
