discussion Excellent B-24 reference

[The Migrant]

You may already be familiar with this site, but I only stumbled on it yesterday. There are some incredible full 360-degree, rotatable images of various parts of the Liberator interior. Being 'inside' the Sperry ball turret actually felt claustrophobic, especially looking up.

A look inside the B-24

Laura Hillenbrand's book "Unbroken" about the exploits of Louis Zamperini (who died only recently) described the B-24 in some detail. It was apparently a terrible aeroplane to crew, and had some very dangerous and major faults with it. As an aside the book is well worth a read. Search his name online, the story is very inspiring.

That website is very interesting Mike, cheers for the link.
