This is just the precis copied from Amazon; not a review.Uncover the untold story of the B-24 Liberator-one of the most influential bombers of World War II. While the B-17 and B-29 have earned their place in the annals of history, the B-24 Liberator remains largely in the shadows, despite playing a crucial role in both the European and Pacific theaters. But what if we told you that the XB-24K, the B-24's final evolution, had the potential to completely reshape the aviation legacy of World War II?
In B-24 Liberator: The Hidden Potential of the XB-24K, you'll explore the untold truth of the aircraft that was ahead of its time-packed with revolutionary features like the single-tail design, upgraded engines, and enhanced defensive systems. Imagine a bomber that was more stable, powerful, and defensive than anything before it. Now imagine if this aircraft had been fully deployed at the height of the war. What impact could it have had on the final outcome of WWII?
Why does this book matter? Because history has forgotten the true extent of the B-24's legacy-and the XB-24K was the pinnacle of its design. This book delves deep into how the B-24 evolved, its critical contributions in strategic bombing campaigns, and how it paved the way for modern bombers. From its role in attacking Nazi Germany's industrial heartlands to its vital role in the Pacific-this aircraft helped to deliver the decisive blows that changed the course of history.
What's inside? You'll discover the forgotten potential of the XB-24K, why its innovative features were groundbreaking, and how it could have outshone the more famous B-17 and B-29 bombers. You'll understand why the B-24-particularly the XB-24K-deserves to be remembered as one of the unsung heroes of WWII aviation.
If you're passionate about aviation history, if you're fascinated by the hidden stories of WWII, or if you simply want to uncover the game-changing innovations that shaped the future of air combat, this book is for you. Whether you're a history enthusiast, aviation aficionado, or someone just curious about the untold stories of war, the B-24 Liberator and the XB-24K's legacy will leave you captivated and inspired.
The story of the B-24 Liberator and the XB-24K is one that must be told-and this is your chance to discover it. Dive in now and see how an underrated bomber shaped modern aviation and played an indispensable role in winning the war!

You got any shots of those?Modelers could have SO much fun with this absurdity!
I knew a former naval aviator co-owner of a Seattle area model shop. He had a sense of humor: a carrier-capable razorback P-47 and a matched set of SR-71s: Israeli and Thunderbirds.

There are excerpts (read samples) for free reading at Amazon.ca now. Here's the one from the XB-24 book. You'll see it's a crap. A mix-mash of Wiki-data and other internet info with some crazy AI (in my opinion) additions. The time-line is completely fake (Ploesti Raid was in 1942 if you didn't know, but under Notable campaigns we read that the Ploesti Raid was in 1943. Great 2 Ploesti raids!). There is a gem about the Doolittle Raid, which I will not copy here - just give it a try.This is just the precis copied from Amazon; not a review.
Thanks for that - yes utter garbage. And not just the Doolittle Raid ("it wasn't involved") but Doolittle himself gets a mention ("he wasn't involved").There are excerpts (read samples) for free reading at Amazon.ca now.

Single XB-24K IIRC plus about ten B-24Ns, all with single tails. They were visually similar to the PB4Y-2 rather than the PB4Y-1.Yeah, that B-24 bit was complete bullshit.
The XB-24K was a one-off, along with another XB-24 and lent to the PB4Y development.
Agree on both counts.I don't see a review.
Anyway, anybody noticed the name "Avery A Holis" aka "every a-hole is". Is it chance or deliberate?
I did. It says " Be the first to write a review"You need to scroll down for the review; it has one star (so far)...
On what Amazon did you do it: com, ca, uk etc. Your link brings me to amazon.ca (which is where I have an account) but there are 0 reviews under this particular book.
Ah, any link to Amazon goes to .nl apparently. I can't even get to co.uk. I guess they redirect everybody to their own geo location.
You are onto something there.I don't see a review.
