AL579

notice top turret 4x .303

Liberator Mk.II specifically built for the Brits (there was no USAAC/F B-24 equivalent) and armed with Boulton Paul turrets, a Type A top turret and Type E tail turret, both armed with 4 x .303 Browning mgs. You can see the rear turret guns poking out from behind the fin. Note that the mid upper is aft of the wing box as opposed to forward of it in later B-24s. The Libs were delivered unarmed to the UK and fitted with their turrets on arrival in the UK, the Mk.II was the first of the B-24 models to be fitted with powered turret armament.

Summary: Journalist and author Gregg Jones reconstructed the lives and times of ten airmen aboard U.S. Army Air Forces B-24 Liberator 41-23711, Jerk's Natural, which disappeared over Austria on October 1, 1943. Jones traced the lives of the fallen servicemen, situates them within a larger story of air combat deaths in Europe in the summer and fall of 1943, and tells of his own personal journeys to the village in southern Austria where the men disappeared. Through his encounters in Austria and communities across America, Jones drew a portrait of the lingering impact of war and the ordeal of "ambiguous loss" and "unresolved grief" experienced by the loved ones of the missing crew.
