Re: Question about RAF 120 Coastal Command B-24D Liberator's

Thank you Peter and Icare.

The detail on the Liberator supplied is impressive, many thanks. Do you know of the gun placement though as I wondered if the Glass nose was updated to a Hard-nose in later versions (maybe after the 'D' model) to make it more powerful in strafing attacks?

Also I have been reading the book Coastal Command 1939-45, but it doesn't really cover what type of ordnance would have been dropped from the Liberator 'D' model?

Was it bombs with delayed charges (and if so what poundage would they have been) and did they carry Depth-Charges as-well?

Thanks for the fast response, cheers, MP
