Airfix 1/72 Scale Consolidated B-24H Liberator Model Kit
Airfix 1/72 Scale Consolidated B-24H Liberator Model Kit The second of America’s great four-engined heavy bombers of the Second World War, the Consolidated B-24 Liberator began development after the Army Air Corps approached the company to build B-17 Flying Fortresses. Unimpressed at the prospect, Consolidated proposed that they could design and produce their own bomber in the same time it would take them to establish production lines, and it would be better than a Flying Fortress. The B-24 Liberator was produced in vast quantities, serving in every theatre during the Second World War, and making a vital contribution to the Allied War effort. The introduction of the ‘H’ model addressed the aircraft’s vulnerability to frontal attack, something enemy fighter pilots had been exploiting since the B-24’s introduction. The Consolidated B-24 Liberator became the most heavily produced four-engined bomber in the history of warfare and America’s most produced aircraft of the Second World War. Quite simply, the B-24 was flown by more men, carried more bombs over greater distances and destroyed more targets than any other bomber in the history of aviation.
