The Tulsamerican was the last B-24 Liberator bomber built at the Douglas Aircraft Company in Tulsa, Oklahoma. U.S. Embassy Zagreb On December 17, 1944 the bomber crashed into the Adriatic sea.
The B-24 Liberator long-range bomber had 1,550,000. One came off the line every 63 minutes. America launched more vessels in 1941 than Japan did in the entire war.

The B-24D on display flew combat missions from North Africa in 1943–1944, and was eventually sent to storage after the war to Davis-Monthan Field, Arizona. In 1959 the aircraft was taken out of storage and flown to
To help iron out the prototype design, a further six YB-24/LB-30A evaluation/pre-production models were ordered, built and delivered. These were followed by the B-24, seven examples of which only one was used for service testing. The B-24 featured de-icing boots and deleted the leading edge slots of previous forms.
After the arrival of the B-36 bomber, B-29 bombers were slowly relieved of front line heavy bomber duties. They were removed from duty in the 1960s. During the active production period of the B-29 design, 3,970 were built. ww2dbase Source: Wikipedia. Last Major Revision: Apr 2007. B-29 Superfortress Timeline
A new “very-heavy, very-long-range bomber to replace the B-17 and B-24” was needed. the test crew and 20 people on the ground were killed.) Boeing built new B-29 facilities in Renton
The B-52 was built around its weapons, and "the air crew kind of fit in where it makes sense," Middents said. August 24, 2020. the new B-21 bomber will arrive and the Air Force will phase
The long-range P-51 Mustang fighter was invaluable to the Allied victory, enabling resumption of strategic bombing after heavy losses suffered by unescorted bombers in 1943. Developed for export to Britain, models modified by the British to use Rolls-Royce Merlin engines became America’s most capable wartime fighters.
The Boeing B-17 was built in response to a 1934 request by the US Army Air Corps (USAAC) for strategic bombers. The Corps wanted a plane capable of flying at 10,000 feet, at speeds of up 200 mph

I'm a new member of this forum and a writer working on a book about the Willow Run bomber plant, which sought to build a B-24 bomber every hour during WWII—the most ambitious industrial experiment ever at the time. I would like to hear from anyone who worked at Willow Run
14 May 1945. Consolidated B-24M-15-CO "Brief", 44-42058, of the 494th Bombardment Group from Angaur, was shot down by anti-aircraft fire while taking part in a bombing raid over Koror, Korea. The bomber's left wing was struck by flak fire, destroying it and causing it to swing into the fuselage.
The Consolidated B-24 Liberator was an American heavy bomber that entered service in 1941. A highly modern aircraft for its day, it first saw combat operations with the Royal Air Force. With the American entry into World War II, production of the B-24 increased. By the end of the conflict, over 18,500 B-24s had been constructed making it the
Height: 8.125 in. Width: 10 in. Designed by renowned industrial architect Albert Kahn for Henry Ford's Ford Motor Company, Willow Run was built for the mass production of World War II B-24 bombers. By the end of 1944, the Ypsilanti, Michigan, factory was producing 650 B-24 Liberators every month. Willow Run closed in 1945, but only after adding
Strategic Wings were established by Strategic Air Command in the late 1950s to disburse its B-52 bombers over a larger number of bases, thus making it more difficult for the Soviet Union to knock out the entire fleet with a surprise first strike. XaGPz.
