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 Early models were soon superseded on all production lines by the J model, the most successful B-24 of all time.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. |

Jesse Pettey B-24 Pilot Exhibit
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
