B-24 Liberator

Nice video, my grandfather was a B-24J tailgunner in the Pacific. Flew on 43 missions in the 13th AF 307th BG 372nd squad. I'm planning on scheduling him and myself for a flight aboard the same Colling's foundation B-24. I still think it's ashame that only 2 of these are flying and over 18,000 were produced.

fantastic ,thanks for guided tour of liberator,it looks very claustrophobic in there and must of been terrifying being attacked by flak and enemy fighters,these crews must have been very brave

Very interesting stories I read here in the comments. So I'll ad my grandfather was on the aircraft carrier USS Intrepid during WWII, he survived through all the attacks.

This is a very cool video...don't get to go through a B-24 Liberator very often....I really enjoyed it, and thank you....RT (pilot)

Hey rtutt!! fancy meetin'you here. I love airplanes too, especially ones that can kick ass!!

Good video, my dad was a flight engineer on a J model in Cerignola, Italy 459th BG, 757th BS

My Grandfather (John Polando) was a pilot of a B-24. He was with the 15th Air Force, 455th bomb group, and 741st sq. I wonder if your father's uncle would have known him? I have been trying to gather information about him.

MissDarling22, There is a Book about the History of the 455th. Its posted on the internet now. Your Grandfather, John Polando is listed. Hope this helps.

Great stuff!! My Grandfather was with the 451st BG(H) in Fosia, Italy. He always had a soft spot for the flying box cars.

Long may the last B-24's fly on, to the memory of their brave crews. My Father's Uncle serviced with the 15th Air Force in Italy with the ,"Vulgar Vultures". Third generation aviation here.
