Aircraft/Missile Information
The C-87 Liberator Express was a transport derivative of the B-24 Liberator heavy bomber. It was used during World War II. A total of 287 C-87's were factory-built alongside the B-24 at the Consolidated Aircraft plant in Fort Worth, Texas, although an unverified number of additional "C-87" aircraft were created by performing field conversions on airframes that originally rolled off the production line as B-24's.
