The Consolidated C-87 Liberator Express: From Bomber to Transport

It is a common practice in aviation history to convert transport aircraft into bombers to meet wartime needs. However, a lesser-known fact is that the Consolidated C-87 Liberator Express took the opposite route. Converted from the well-known B-24 bomber, the C-87 was redesigned to serve as a transport aircraft, fulfilling a unique role in aviation history.
