History.

The Consolidated B-24 D Liberator was an American heavy bomber that played a significant role during World War II. Designed by Consolidated Aircraft, the B-24 was introduced in 1941 as a more modern alternative to the Boeing B-17. It featured a distinctive high aspect ratio wing, known as the "Davis wing," which provided excellent range and payload capacity. The B-24 D model was the first widely produced version, equipped with turbo-supercharged engines for improved high-altitude performance.

The B-24 D saw extensive service in various theatres of the war, including Europe, the Pacific, and North Africa. Its versatility allowed it to perform multiple roles, from strategic bombing to anti-submarine warfare. However, the aircraft was criticised for its relatively poor handling characteristics and vulnerability to enemy fire. Despite these issues, the B-24 became one of the most produced bombers in history, with over 18,000 units built, contributing significantly to the Allied war effort.
