The B-24 Liberator was a heavy four-engine bomber used during World War II. It was designed by Consolidated Aircraft and over 18,000 units were produced. The aircraft had a crew of 10 to 11 people and was armed with up to 10 machine guns. The B-24 was used for strategic bombing, reconnaissance and maritime reconnaissance, and was highly resistant to damage. The B-24 participated in many famous air raids, including the raid on Ploiești in Romania in 1943. Today, there are only a few airworthy B-24s, which are used in air shows and as museum exhibits. The B-24 Liberator remains an important symbol of the aviation industry and the Air Force during World War II.
