This didnt correct the problem sufficiently, so the tail was completely revised, giving the horizontals dihedral and capping each with a large oval fin and rudder arrangement much like that of its Consolidated stablemate, the B-24 Liberator.

Weather, field conditions, obstacles, and many other elements greatly affect short field operations. The local altimeter setting is 29.65, the temperature is 25°C, and we have a 9-knot headwind. Subtract the altimeter setting from 29.92, multiply it by 1,000, and add that to the field elevation.
