A flight aboard the Collings Foundation's B-24 Liberator Flight Aboard A B-24
Flown by Lt Henry Etheridge of the 307th bombardment group, this B24 was shot down in 1945 by a Japanese fighter. After receiving damnage to one engine, and with higer engine power required from the remaing engines there was insufficient fuel to return to base. They were forced to ditch instead of bailing out as the area was heavily wooded, but all crewman exited the plane without serious injury within one minute of impact. The crew were all picked up within one hour, even before the plane sank. This wreck lies down at 21 meters in a mangrove area of the Togean Islands, central Sulawesi in Indonesia.

Shots I took, B/W ones I didn't take;)Did the flight aboard the WWII B24 Liberator Bomber today. Sat in the seat of the Flight Engineer...where my Dad sat...between the pilots. Top Turret, his gun position was off limits...that's OK because there was no way my fat ass was getting into it. I was amazed how dark and cramped it was inside, just enough room for the 10 man crew, ten .50 caliber machine guns, and the bomb load. LOUD and I loved the smell of 100 octane ave gas...smelled like race fuel. Gaps in the airframe...wind blowing thru the open waist gunners windows...awesome. Can't image being at 30,000 feet, -30 degree temp, in a flight with 1000 on these planes .....somewhere over Germany...with flax, as I remember my father saying, B24 Collings...

The Consolidated B-24 Liberator was an American heavy bomber, built by Consolidated Aircraft. It was produced in greater numbers than any other American combat aircraft of World War II and still holds the record as the most produced U.S. military aircraft.

http://www.aviationlive.org Online Aviation Pics,Videos and ForumWWII FootageThe Consolidated B-24 Liberator was an American heavy bomber, built by Consolidated Aircraft. It was produced in greater numbers than any other American combat aircraft of World War II and still holds the record as the most produced U.S. military aircraft. It was used by many Allied air forces and every U.S. branch of service during the war, attaining a distinguished war record with its operations in the northern European, Pacific and Mediterranean theaters.Often compared to the better known B-17 Flying Fortress, the B-24 was a more modern design with a higher top speed and greater range yet it had a similar bomb load and defensive armament. Nevertheless, popular opinion among aircrews and general staff tended to favor the B-17's rugged qualities above all other considerations. The B-24 was notorious among American air crews for its tendency to catch fire. The placement of the B-24's fuel tanks throughout the upper fuselage and its lightweight construction, designed both to increase range and optimize assembly line production, made the aircraft vulnerable to battle damage.The B-24 was more difficult to fly as well, with heavy control forces and poor formation flying characteristics. The B-24 nevertheless provided excellent service in a variety of roles thanks to its large payload and long range.The Liberator originated from a United States Army Air Corps (USAAC) request in 1938 for Consolidated to produce the B-17 under license. This was part of B-24 Shot Down
