Consolidated B-24 Liberator World War 2 propeller driven bomber, airplane models, B-24 plastic model kit, mahogany models, die cast models and WW2 B-24 Bomber Pictures.The B-24 Liberator was built in a factory called Willow Run in Detroit Michigan. The factory was built by Henry Ford and designed by Charles E. Sorensen. The Willow Run factory was named willow run because is it was built on the willow run creek. This is interesting because the last person to live on the Willow Run property was Warren Benjamin Kidder. I have spoken to Ben, personally, and he is one of the nicest people that anyone could ever meet. Ben wrote a book called Willow Run, Colossus of Industry, a book about the production of the B-24 liberator military bomber. When the factory was in full production it produced a B-24 liberator every 56 minutes. This factory is one of Henry Ford 's greatest achievements. You can read more about this fantastic, very well written book by clicking here.This famous WWII bomber fought its way through the dangerous skies of Europe and the Pacific. The B-24 Liberator was one of the most versatile and important aircraft of that era. It did not get the press attention that the Flying Fortress received, but it certainly earned its way by fighting through swarms of Luftwaffe fighters to drop bombs on the Third Reich. It earned the same laurels in the Pacific. |

Commissioned to replace the B-17, the Liberator was built in near-record time. The machine was designed around the long-span low-drag Davis wing, a new concept at the time of production. Early models were soon superseded on all production lines by the J model, the most successful B-24 of all time. When production ceased on 31 May 1945, 18,475 Liberators had been made, making it the most produced American aircraft of WW2. |

At that moment I forgot about the fighter escort and adjusted my comforting flak helmet and vest. The top turret guns began to chatter as the flight engineer fired at an approaching enemy BF-109. |

Jeff, My Dad was one of the first " Bombagators " in the Army Air Corps in WWII . He received the distinguished Flying cross for leading a mission over Germany during the war in a B-24 Liberator Bomber . The name of the plane was Galloping Katie two . Dad was Ernest Robert DeVillers . The pilot was J. Paul Getty . If you can set me up in any search areas , it would be greatly appreciated. Dad wrote a mission letter for every mission he flew but destroyed them just a few years ago . I have two that weren't in his possession along with his graduation book from San Angelo Army Air Field in San Angelo , Texas . If any of what I have can be of use to you or others interested in this history , please contact me at 508-835-4967 Thanks Jeff Frank DeVillers

| Dear Sir: I was the Co-Pilot
on the "Gremlin". We were the only crew to fly #427512. On
5 January 1944 we were shot down by three German fighters over Friedrichskoog, Germany. I bailed out just a few seconds before the
Gremlin blew up and 6 crewmen were KIA. A 15 year old German viewed
this event and saw a piece of the Gremlin fall through their barn
roof and kill a horse. This German saw a recent posting about
our plane and wrote to me that he had plowed up a piece of the Gremlin.
He sent this piece to me. It looks to be a part of the engine
and bears identification : #9901 AND #108F23. I would like
to have this part identified. I have a picture that I could send
by attachment. I am also interested to know if any quality control
studies were made
to compare the quality of the B-24's
made at the various manufacturing plants. The Gremlin had problems
with the superchargers from the very first day we were assigned as
its crew. In fact we were alone on the day we were shot down as a
result of being unable to keep up with the formation because the superchargers
refused to operate as needed at high altitude. I am interest to know
if any comparative studies were made relative to such problems between
the various manufacturing plants. Also I would like to have a copy
of any manufacturing data that may exist for #427512.
Thank you for any assistance you may provide. William T. (Bill) Minor |
