Of the 18,482 B-24 Liberators built during World War Two just 17 remain, of those just three are airworthy. It’s a similar story for the B-17 Flying Fortress and the B-25 Mitchell, of thousands built during the only handful remain, that’s one the reason I take every opportunity I can to photograph these great old planes… We shouldn’t forget them or the men flew them, it’s their courage an sacrifice that preserved the freedoms we enjoy.<\/p>\n

These photos were taken at Waterbury-Oxford Airport on August 7, 2007. For more information about the aircraft and the Collings Foundation that operates them as flying museums visit their web site at: http:\/\/www.collingsfoundation.org\/ <\/a><\/p>\n
