These walk-around photos were taken at the Imperial War Museum Duxford in 2018, where the aircraft is displayed in the American Air Museum. They show a Consolidated B-24M Liberator, serial 44-51228, one of the most produced military aircraft in history — over 18 000 B-24s were built in various variants during the Second World War, more than any other American aircraft of the era. Designed by Consolidated as a longer-ranged alternative to the B-17 Flying Fortress, the Liberator featured a distinctive high-aspect-ratio Davis wing and twin tail, and served with the USAAF across every theatre of the war. This particular aircraft was built by Ford Motor Company at the famous Willow Run plant in Michigan in 1945, too late to see combat. After the war it was used for meteorological and icing research until 1954, after which it spent over four decades on static display at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas. In 1999 it was disassembled, airlifted to Duxford by a USAF C-5A Galaxy, and restored for display, appearing since 2001 in the markings of "Dugan" — aircraft 493 of the 578th Bomb Squadron, 392nd Bomb Group, Eighth Air Force.
