Re: Question B24 Liberator used by RAF Group No. 205

Hi.
B-24's were part of the 'Lend-Lease' deal, therefor had to use USA weapons.
If A/c were sold to the RAF, like early Baltomores, you will find that they used British ammo (.303). in eg Boulton Paul turrets.
The early B-24's seen in the western Desert may have been sold to the RAF.
You will have to see if their serials are on the Lend Lease list in the book from Air Britain.
205 BG only came into being in Italy.
