The Liberator turned manufacturing into science with these huge machines delivered at a rate that still defies belief At the peak a B-24 Liberator was being finished every 100 minutes 7 days a week! Put simply without the Liberty effort the allies must surely have lost One of the heaviest aircraft of the period faster than the Fortress similarly armed & with that raft of levers the Liberator is a special aircraft With a range of 3 000 miles & ceiling of 28 000ft the B-24 can fly above the weather from Gander to Prestwick without its contemporaries& need to stop at Greenland or Iceland Its tolerance of wartime overload confounded even its designers; a comforting fact for one vital Atlantic passenger
