Of all the manufacturers of the B24 my father always said the Fords were the best.
He flew B24s [ WW2], C54s [ Berlin] and B29s [ Korea].
The others had more problems than the Fords, they had some issues, just not as many as the others. I thought it amazing that one could roll off the line every 55 minutes.
There are only 2 actual B24s left flying and I was able to ride in the nose of Witch Craft for the Watkins Glen NASCAR opening several years ago. One of the greatest experiences of this one's meager life.
The B24 seems to be everything the B17 isn't. I have 28-29hrs in the right seat of a B17. The B17 is quiet, smooth, stable and very well mannered which is everything the B24 is not. They are rude, noisy, vibrate, and a hand full, which, is everything I like !
