I am surprised that the B-24 Liberator is not on the list. It was far better than the B-17 and was produced in far greater numbers than the others. With over 18,000 aircraft built the Consolidated B-24 Liberator was produced in even greater numbers than the other famous Second World War US bomber, the B-17 Flying Fortress. source: http://www.aviation-history.com/consolidated/b24.html
