Seller's Description

CORGI AA34004 1/72 CONSOLIDATED B-24D "SKY WITCH" CAPT.J.J. RYAN 400TH BS 90TH BG MOKMER AIRSTRIP BIAK NOVEMBER 1944 - LAST ONE HERE NOW


This Liberator wore standard Olive Drab camouflage and was modified with a B-24J style nose turret. Internally the aircraft had been specially equipped for long-distance photo and visual reconnaissance through the fitment of an additional four 400 US-gallon auxiliary fuel tanks on the command deck. Coming off the production line on 28th July 1942, it made its first shakedown flight forty eight hours later and was delivered on the 2nd August. It became one of the early B-24D Liberators to go to war with the 'Jolly Rogers' in late 1942. On 7th November 1944 and with Captain J. J. Ryan as pilot, 'Sky Witch' set forth to search for an expected Japanese fleet in Brunei Bay days after the Battle of the Philippine Sea. Fighting a continuous forty-minute battle with at least nine A6M5 Zeros, the Liberator was credited with downing at least four. Getting clear it managed to fly one thousand miles back to friendly territory with photos and other intelligence.

Consolidated B-24D Liberator
Designed to fill a United States Army Air Corps need for a heavy bomber, the B-24 Liberator was first flown on December 29, 1939. The USAAC originally asked Consolidated to build the B-17 under license, but the company instead chose to submit a more modern design with greater speed, greater range and a heavier bomb load. Despite these advantages, the B-24 was more difficult to fly, had poor formation-flying characteristics, and was much more vulnerable to battle damage, which meant it never became the favored bomber among American aircrews. It did prove more than serviceable, however, especially for long-range missions.
