V Grand:
This Liberator, a B-24J-195-CO, was the 5,000th B-24 built by Consolidated Aircraft Corporation, San Diego, California. The aircraft was signed by thousands of workers at the Consolidated plant. Unlike other similarly signed planes, "V Grand" was allowed to deploy overseas with the signatures still on. it is seen here on a flight over the southwestern US prior to it being delivered to the USAAF. |
