| Viagra zdsfhtras, MS | Viagra est la pilule la plus connue pour le traitement de l'impuissance chez les hommes. La molécule active de cette fameuse pilule a été à l'origine identifiée par le Laboratoire pharmaceutique Pfizer qui conservait l'exclusivité de la fabrication et la commercialisation de la viagra jusqu'à l'expiration de son brevet.

| Teargas Horse Las Vegas, NV | My grandfather is pictured in front of "Red Headed Woman" with only the number 645. Serving in the Pacific in 44 crew #310. If it is an L modelm then most likely it is; s/n 44-41645? Consolidated B-24L-5-CO Liberator. All data bases I find so far skip 645. Any information would be greatly appreciated. 08/25/2007 @ 14:19 [ref: 17755] |

| Joe French Olathe, KS | Whoever said the max weight of the Lib was 64,350 pounds [29,250 kg] must never have been in or flown one. I flew 37 missions out of Horsham St. Faith at Norwich and sometines we grossed nearly 80,000 pounds into a strong 5 mph wind. yes 5 mph head wind at takeoff with 49 inches of merc at 4800 rpm.. Try it some time.. To A Blyth @ Norwich.. Drop me a line at B24TopPilot@aol.com. You're my kind of flyer and your three photos deserve an award. I'd like to be there when a B24 reaches 27,978 feet, maybe if not loaded with bombs or if tied to a rocket..

| A Blyth , OTH | can anyone tell me how many liberators there are left in the world, how many in the states and how many are flyable. I would love to see one over here in the air to fly along side the "Sally B". After seeing Diamond Lil fly into my home town nearly ten years ago feel it a great pity that there's not one here with us as so many flew here during WW11.Where i live i'm surrounded by old WW11 airfields all empty now. 07/09/2001 @ 05:57 [ref: 2622] |

| Chuck MacWilliam Roseville, CA | My stepfather, Frank Walker, was with the 7th Air Force, 11th Bomb Group, 98th squadron on the B-24L Liberator. I'm trying to find a plastic model of the "L" model to build and give to him as a Christmas present. I've tried virtually every model manufacturer there is out there but can only come as close as the "J" model. Can anyone help me? Thanks. 11/28/2000 @ 11:15 [ref: 1103] |
| Toine Tesser Arnhem, Gelderland, OTH | Dear sir, madam,
A friend of mine recently purchased a part of a Liberator. It's supposedly from a B24L with a.c. registration number 44-41775. At least, according to the (original) box it came in. Do you know where we could find more information about that particular airplane? Thank you very much. Kind regards, Toine Tesser 06/19/2000 @ 15:02 [ref: 330] |
