The history of the
Consolidated B-24
Liberator
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.
*Alteration on the design such as change of paint schemes and markings or embodied features on our models occurs at any time. Detachable stand is included with the model which may vary from the photo.
