JOE RIX Product was accurately advertised and was sold at a very reasonable price. I was very happy to obtain this sought after book at such an excellent price. The book was also very promptly shipped and recieved. I was very pleased with this dealer and will gladly purchase from them again.. "A little covered aircraft." according to Len. The U.S. Navy flew Liberators and Privateers in the Pacific Theater during the Second World War. The Privateer was a stretched version of the Liberator that was more heavily armed, faster and easier to fly. This book has a lot of pictures of the aircraft, especially the nose art, the cockpit interior and diagrams of the interior layout.. "Limited Only by Format" according to JCAL. Could have been a significantly larger volume. Given the size and price, it is not a bad volume on a relatively overlooked airframe. I am happy to have the made the purchase as it does fill a gap in my collection.
