B-24 Liberator

The B-24 Liberator was an aircraft used in World War II. It was used as both a fighter plane, and as a transport plane. During the war over 12,000 of these planes were produced, making then one of the most popular planes used in that combat. If you're in the market for World War 2 collectibles you've probably seen one of these planes on things like t-shirts, coffee mugs, baseball caps, and military aircraft posters. These planes can be seen in person at museums, and other flight exhibits.

The B-24 Liberator can reach speeds up to 290 miles per hours. It is equipped with ten machine guns for combat. These airplanes were efficient fighting machines. They were used by more countries than any other airplane in production during the war. There are only two of these planes capable of flight in existence today. Perhaps the best way to commemorate and honor the men and women who flew them is with collectibles.
