B-24D/J Liberator – a brief history

The Consolidated B-24 Liberator was one of the most important American heavy bombers of World War II, widely used from 1941 to 1945. Aircraft of this design served mainly in the United States Army Air Forces, the RAF, and the air forces of many Allied nations. The B-24 saw its greatest use during strategic operations over Europe, in battles in the Pacific, and in many other theaters of war, where the bomber was noted for its long range and versatility. The D and J versions are among the most recognizable and widely produced, taking part in, among others, raids on Ploesti and operations in Sicily and Korea.
