I dont usually do WWII threads, but here is a exception.
On this web site describing the B24 history...
http://www.aviation-history.com/consolidated/b24.html
..there is a mention of French interest in this aircraft. A provisional order for 120 aircraft was placed with Consolidated Aircraft in the autum of 1939. Further orders were discussed for delivery sometime in late 1940 & 1941.
With a PoD of May/June 1940 France survives the German offensive & the battle front is stalemated into 1941. How does the later 1940 battle experience with the early B24, or LB-30 in French service affect the development of later B24 models and heavy bombers in general?
