This legendary combat aircraft of WWII takes to the skies
of Flight Simulator 2004 and FSX.
The Liberator turned manufacturing into science with these huge machines delivered at a rate that still defies belief. At the peak, a B-24 Liberator was being finished every 100 minutes, 7 days a week! Put simply without the Liberty effort the allies must surely have lost. One of the heaviest aircraft of the period, faster than the Fortress, similarly armed and with that raft of levers, the Liberator is a special aircraft.
With a range of 3,000 miles and ceiling of 28,000ft, the B-24 can fly above the weather from Gander to Prestwick without its contemporaries^ need to stop at Greenland or Iceland. Its tolerance of wartime overload confounded even its designers, a comforting fact for one vital Atlantic passenger - Winston Churchill.
The B-24^s greatest triumph was in extreme long range patrol over the oceans, closing the ^Mid-Atlantic Gap^. It was accredited with no less than 72 submarine kills. Small wonder it is recognized as a huge contributor to the death of the wolf-pack. Make no mistake though. This trans-oceanic transport is no 747 or Airbus, no idiot-proof navigation system or comfy seat - the Liberator needs to be flown.
Perhaps the ultimate ^heavy^ of WW2 and with Alphasim^s critically acclaimed simulation, this is a worthy addition to the virtual skies.
