B-24 Liberator survivors

Consolidated B-24 Survivors highlights the history of many well known flying and static display Consolidated B-24s as well as PB4Y-2's in the United States. A list is also provided of other B-24's on display around the world; including location, model and serial numbers, brief history, nicknames/markings, and conditions.

Background

By the time the last complete B-24M came off the Willow Run assembly line in July 1945, 18,482 Liberators had been built by the five B-24 manufacturers. An additional 774 PB4Y-2 / RY-3 were further produced by Consolidated San Diego.

The B-24 was quickly declared obsolete by the USAAF and the remaining stateside aircraft were flown to desert storage in the south-west. In the Pacific theatre, many aircraft were simply parked, the oil drained from the engines and left for reclamation. By 1950, except for the one B-24D held for preservation, the vast fleet of Liberators were gone. In 12 May 1959, the last flight of a B-24 by the USAF flew from Davis-Monthan to the Air Force Museum at Wright Patterson AFB where it is now on display.

With the USN and USCG, the PB4Y-1 continued until early 1950s when they were retired to NAS Litchfield. The remaining PB4Y-2 (now redesignated P4Y-2) remained in inventory until the early 1960s when they were either retired to desert storage or expended as targets (as QP4Y-2K). After retirement from active service, these aircraft took up a second career during the late 1960s to the late 1990s as aerial tanker aircraft. It was only after a series of fatal accidents was the remaining PB4Y-2's were again forced into retirement

While both the RAF as well as the RAAF were willing to continue operating the B-24, the terms of the lend-lease agreements stipulated that these aircraft were to be either paid for or returned (i.e. scrapped) and vast graveyards of aircraft accumulated in India as well as Tarakan, Australia.

When India gained independence in 1947, 37 Liberators were resurrected and gave service until their retirement in 1968. It is from the IAF that the majority of the remaining B-24 owe their existence.

In 1948 when Israel was looking for aircraft, the Royal Australian Air force was approached with the offer to purchase 25 aircraft, but since these aircraft had not been stored with long-term preservation in mind, they were neither airworthy nor economically feasible to restore to flyable condition.

With the availability of intact, existing airframes beginning to diminish, the warbird movement since the late 1990s has been seeking out previously considered unrecoverable airframes for restoration. The RAAF has three airframes in storage (serials unknown) which were recovered when they restored their museum aircraft. Both India and China are reported to have additional recoverable aircraft and the jungles of the Southwest Pacific still hold abandoned aircraft.
