B-24D Liberator Ploesti Raid History:
This B-24 Liberator was operated by the 15th Air Force in
Cyrenaica and flew on raid to the Ploesti oilfields on August 1,
1943. The bombers were painted in desert pink.
The B24D Liberator was the first liberator that was put into mass
production by Consolidated. More than 2,700 B-24D was produced. The
first production of B-24D was almost similar to B-24C and was
delivered to the Army Air Corps. The B-24D's long deep fuselage
enabled the Army Forces to settle in to a continuous diversity of
attacks. The B-24D served commendably not only as bombers but also
as photo reconnaissance aircraft, anti submarine aircraft and as
cargo planes too.
In 1943, The B24D Liberator replaced the B-17 Flying
Fortress as the heavy bomber in the South Pacific. The liberator was
flown by the Army and Navy Aircrews. Five months after the
production of the B-24D in San Diego, Consolidated began a new
production of the B24D in Forth Worth. The Liberator attained
recognition during the WWII as one of the Army Air Force's most
reliable long range bombers.
