B-24 Liberator Bomber And New Observation Plane Tested
Thrilling scenes of test flights of the Army’s new B-24 Consolidated Liberator bomber in San Diego, California. This four-motored aircraft has a wing span of 110 feet, top speed of over 300 M.P.H. and can carry 4 tons of bombs. The Air Corps’ newest observation plane, a tiny plane with special wing flaps, can fly almost straight up and then “hover” in the air at 25 M.P.H. It’s trial flight will amaze you.
