B-24 Liberator

Article Abstract:

The US built 18,000 Liberators more than any American warplane in history and served with distinction in every theater of war, operating not only as bomber but also as a reconnaissance aircraft before and during World War II. While effective in Europe, the B-24 made its mark in the Pacific and remained the preferred bomber until the arrival of B-29.
