Old fellow that I know from around here to fly them(he was in on Ploesti). I asked him about the durability. He just outright laughed. He had no problems with the toughness. Soooooo, I asked him about that nose wander thing. He said that wasn't funny at all. The nose apparently did crab around.
Also he said the B24 was a very physically demanding plane to fly. The rudders REALLY fought back.

The B-24 could take quite a bit of damage, and even though the facts say it cant, id be willing to bet against it. I've seen pictures and heard first-hand accounts of the 24 taking incredible amounts of damage and making it home.
