To see our other original vintage warbird aeroplane posters, photographs, and paintings, scroll down to "More from this Seller" and below it click on "See all from this Seller" US Naval Aviation Training Division Navy and Army Consolidated Aircraft "B-24E" "Liberator II" - USA and UK World War II heavy bomber plane Original aeroplane recognition poster (1942) 63x47cm A particularly unusual style of aeroplane identification poster, owing to the very arty images. Most such posters rely on very plain silhouettes, this series - and we have many in this series - have a much more arty approach to the task with shading and an interesting angle view. The Consolidated B-24 Liberator is an American heavy bomber, designed by Consolidated Aircraft of San Diego, California. Early RAF Liberators were the first aircraft to cross the Atlantic Ocean as a matter of routine. The B-24 was used extensively in World War II. It served in every branch of the American armed forces as well as several Allied air forces and navies, and was used in every theatre of war operations. In comparison with its contemporaries, the B-24 was relatively difficult to fly and had poor low-speed performance; it also had a lower ceiling and was less robust than the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress. While aircrews tended to prefer the B-17, General Staff favoured the B-24 and procured it in huge numbers for a wide variety of roles. At approximately 18,500 units – including 8,685 manufactured by Ford Motor Company – it holds records as the world's most produced bomber, heavy bomber, multi-engine aircraft, and American military aircraft in history.
