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.
