The history of the B-24
Liberator Silver
The B-24 Liberator aircraft was
the most-produced American
military or naval airplane. It is a
heavy bomber built by the
Consolidated Aircraft Company of
San Diego, California. Introduced in
1941, the B-24 took its first flight on
December 29, 1939, and was
produced from 1940 up to 1945.
Each Liberator cost $297,627 then.
Because of its spacious slab-sided
fuselage, it was sometimes called
Flying Boxcar.
The B-24 Liberator was often
compared to the B-17 Flying
Fortress but it was a more modern
design with a greater range, heavier
bomb load, and higher top speed.
Its most famous mission was the
low-level strike against the
Romanian Ploesti old fields held on
August 1, 1943. Powered by four
Pratt & Whitney R-1830 turbo
supercharged radial engines, the
aircraft had a maximum speed of
290 mph. It was 20.6m in length and
5.5m in height. Capable of carrying
7-10 crew, it carried ten .50 caliber
M2 Browning machine guns, and
short-range, long-range, and very
long-range bombs.
