Book excerpt: Merriam Press World War II Album WA7 (Second Edition, 2015). Pictorial history of the Consolidated PB4Y-1 Liberator and the PB4Y-2 Privateer, World War II patrol bombers of the U.S. Navy derived from the Consolidated B-24 Liberator. The Navy had been using unmodified B-24s as the PB4Y-1 Liberator, and the type was considered very successful. A fully navalized design was desired, and Consolidated developed a dedicated long-range patrol bomber in 1943, designated PB4Y-2 Privateer. Also included in this work is a chapter covering the Consolidated RY-3, transport version of the PB4Y-2, and a chapter on the history of Patrol Bombing Squadron VPB-106, "The Wolverators," which flew both the PB4y-1 and PB4Y-2 during World War II. 226 photos and illustrations, 1 three-view drawing, 1 cutaway drawing.
