The history of the PB4Y
Liberator Navy
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.
The US Navy PB4Y Liberator
was the twin of the B-24
Liberator of the US Air Force, and
was designated PB4Y-2 Privateer in
1943. It was later redesignated as
P4Y-2 Privateer in 1951. It was
externally similar to its twin except
for the longer fuselage and the tall
single vertical stabilizer it
possessed. It was mostly used for
reconnaissance, search and
rescue, communication relay,
electronic countermeasures, and
anti-shipping roles.
*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.
