About the Liberator B24

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.
