Although I may not know about the different aspects of ALL? the B-24 variants, my expertise lies in telling people where to go!!
(For more info, of course...)

Jim, Hear,hear, No matter how you look at the post/replys etc, it smacks of the US NAVY, not the USAAF. It has confused the hell out of a lot of us. It dont belong here. Like I posted here a few times before, this forum is Scott,s baby and he can and will set the ground rules. If I may add, I dont think a vote will sway him one iota. Bottom line, Scott is my "Captain" in this forum, and I will abide by his rules, whether I like it or not. As to Danny's retort to you, his expertice in telling people where to go, mayhaps he should read the ground rules set forth by Scott, "be nice to others". Then again I've been told a few times where to go and I went there, but was sent back to get the sender.

Good morning, John, and good reply! You are correct that Scott has done an excellent job in launching this Site and steering it on a true course, which makes the addition of this Forum all that much more interesting. However, I'm thinking you "may" have misinterrpreted Dan's comment in post #21 when you said: "As to Danny's retort to you, his expertice in telling people where to go, mayhaps he should read the ground rules set forth by Scott, "be nice to others". Then again I've been told a few times where to go and I went there, but was sent back to get the sender." I took it to mean "where to go to FIND more information" as he stated in the parentheses. I've found his research, leads and links over the years in respect to the Liberator (along with his qualified research staff) to be outstanding. Hope this makes sense....

John...Perhaps I was, and am, in error as to my approach to this subject....in addition to the Navy PB4Y-1s, the Navy also operated B-17s as PB-1Ws as AN/APS-20 search radar, but not until 1945.
Perhaps a sub division within the B-24 website could be adapted, and the same could be applied to other aircraft such as the Navy B-17s,....Or a seperate Forum established as a location to input such variations.
I still think... (again my own personal opinon)...the main subject is the Army Air Forces...and possibly such a seperate Forum would satisfy the seperation of the Army Air Force from all other divisions, either as a seperate Forum or a sub division within each B-17 or B-24 or other aircraft that were modified from their original intent.

Steven,
Dan,s "where to go" is in the "eye" of the beholder. If what you say is true, It behooved him to be more explicite as to what he was alluding to, AMEN

My 2 cents ... Scott added a sub-forum to the website, Daniel's B-24 Best Web. I'm fairly certain Scott knows, and has known for a long time Daniel provides info on B-24's, and all variants thereof. See Dan's post above with screenshot ...
It would seem to me, that in this sub-forum, anything related to variants, various users of them, and so on are fair questions.
Most forums have a sub-forum " place " where members can post 'off-topic' stuff, sort of like the Canteen here .... although, even there, it seems anything off topic is frowned on by some. This sub-forum should be no different ... anything Dan has expertise in should be allowed here. I can almost guarantee that the AAF flavor of the rest of ArmyAirForcesDotCom won't suffer.
If I don't want to take a chance on being offended by a PB4Y inquiry, I can always just not click on posts that show to be in this sub-forum.

Okay. I guess some adult supervision is required here.
The rules are as follows.
This is the B-24 Best Web forum hosted here at armyairforces.com. Talk about B-24s until you are blue in the face. If some Naval bleed over occurs I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.
Daniel obviously has a good feel for what constitutes the subject matter that he wants to cover.
The looseness of the B24bestweb forum here is superseded by only a few hard and fast rules.
No politics.
No selling.
No abuse of other forum members.
No spam.
That is all.
Locking the thread. No further discussion is required.
