About the B-24 Liberator Micro-plane:
The B-24 Liberator is an American heavy bomber designed by Consolidated Aircraft of San Diego, California. It was known within the company as the Model 32. At its inception, the B-24 was a modern design featuring a highly efficient shoulder-mounted, high aspect ratio Davis wing. The wing gave the Liberator a high cruise speed, long range and the ability to carry a heavy bomb load. It was used extensively in WWII, and served in every branch of the American armed forces, as well as several Allied air forces and navies, and saw use in every theater of operation.
Production was in very high numbers, at nearly 19,000 units, with over 8,000 manufactured by Ford Motor Company. It holds the distinction of being the most produced heavy bomber in history, the most produced multi-engine aircraft in history and the most produced American military aircraft. At the end of WWII, the Liberator had been surpassed by more modern types such as the Boeing B-29 Superfortress. Two B-24s are airworthy as of 2016.
