Endurance in the B-24 was mainly how much fuel you could carry. Each engine had 30+ gallons of oil. The maximum fuel load was over 2400 gallons (without also adding a 500 gallon bomb bay tank) , so a flight of over 12 hours was possible. Witchcraft currently only has tanks for 1600 gallons. We don't usually fly more than 2.5 hours going from stop to stop and often the flight time is under 1 hour.
