Re: Differences between a B-24G and H-model?

B-24G.
North American Aviation-built Liberators were initially identified with the unique suffix letter "G" the first 25 were essentially similar to the B-24D; subsequent G-models incorporated Emerson nose turrets.

B-24H.
While the B-24D, E and G were production versions of a generally similar design phase, the B-24H, first built by ford in 1943, represented the next step in Liberator evolution. Although coming later in the alphabet that the G-model, the B-24H chronologically was the first Liberator production variant to sport a factory installed nose turret, the Emerson A-15.
