Re: Differences between a B-24G and H-model?
The Ford B-24H was the first production Liberator to have a nose turret. However, the word 'production' should be emphasised for nose turreted B-24s were operating in the Pacific in considerable numbers. These were initially field modifications utilising spare or salvaged Consolidated tail turrets, but later a full scale modification programme was under taken by the Hawaiian Air Depot to modify substantial numbers of B-24Ds to the nose configuration. All these used the Consolidated A-6 turret.
The Emerson A-15 turret was used in the Ford built B-24H.
