This is the LB-30 owned by the Commemorative Air Force as part of the B-29/B-24 Squadron. This Liberator tours extensively across the US. The LB-30 is a cargo variant of the Liberator that was built for the British very early in WWII. The Birts ordered 20 of these aircraft. This was the 18th off of the line. It suffered an accident prior to delivery, and returned to the factory. This aircraft never did make it to England, and was taken over by the US Army Air Force. It flew regularly during the war, and also as a passenger transport for several owners until being aquired by the CAF. This Liberator has round engine nacels rather than the distinctive B-24 oval nacels.
