U.S. ARMY AIR FORCES B-24 LIBERATOR BOMBER PILOT TRAINING FLIGHT MANUAL

THIS MANUAL is the text for your training as a B-24 pilot and airplane
commander.

The Air Forces' most experienced training and supervisory
personnel have collaborated to make it a complete exposition of
what your pilot duties are, how each duty will be performed, and
why it must be performed in the manner prescribed.

The techniques and procedures described in this book are
standard and mandatory. In this respect the manual serves the
dual purpose of a training checklist and a working handbook. Use
it to make sure that you learn everything described herein. Use it
to study and review the essential facts concerning everything taught.
Such additional self-study and review will not only advance your
training, but will alleviate the burden of your already overburdened
instructors.
This training manual does not replace the Technical Orders for
the airplane, which will always be your primary source of information
concerning the B-24 so long as you fly it. This is essentially the
textbook of the B-24. Used properly, it will enable you to utilize
the pertinent Technical Orders to even greater advantage.
