Mark Hembree's B-24 History

I have a problem with Mark's article on B-24 history.  He fails to mention that the RAF received 140 Liberator II's (LB-30).  These were equipped with Curtiss Electric propellers identified by their long prop domes, the only change from Hamilton-Standard propellers in the entire B-24 line.These were the first to be fitted with a power-operated gun turret aft of the wing, the Boulton-Paul with 4 .303 Brownings.  Only one was fitted in the US as the rest were fitted in England.  B-24A's were not fitted with turrets.  The USAAF repossessed 75 Liberator II's in December, 1941, designating them LB-30's with their original British serial numbers, and these were retrofitted with the Martin turret as used in the B-26 and the B-25.  These were the aircraft that were used in Java, Australia, Philippines, Aleutians, and the Caribbean. If I remember right, that General Tinker disappeared in an LB-30 while flying to attack Wake Island.  The survivors were rebuilt as C-87's flying until the end of the war getting smelted down as aluminum ingots and pots and pans.  I just wanted to correct the history.
