Re: Coastal Command Rocket Liberators...
Well that certainly helps! Just what I needed.
Was that from the ORB or do you have some recommended reading? One question though: How could they actually fire 16 rockets when they had only 4 on each side? Did they carry a rocket-rack in the bomb bay as well? I've heard of such an arrangement but never saw it mentioned in actual use. I suspect they stopped using rockets when they converted to Liberator VI's in February '45. Kyrre

Re: Coastal Command Rocket Liberators...
It is from Combat Report and Coastal Command Review 11/1944. It clearly states "... R.P.s were fired in fours salvoes of fours ...".
According to my sources, there were only eight SAP60s on first versions of GR Vs but stow-away double carriers for 16 pcs were later used in the bomb bay. Feel free to contact me off board. Michal fairlop@quick.cz

Re: Coastal Command Rocket Liberators...
Yes, they were using also rocket-rack in the bomb bay. It depends on the concrete plane as there was quite wide variety of modifications... but both planes mentioned on 29.10.44 have rocket installation inside.
If you would like more info contact Michal or me off-board. Pavel
