The C-87 civilian conversion of the B-24 Liberator was spotted by
PeteP, Mick (woody901), Pete (Motormouse), gaining a badge for their observations.


The actual photo was of an early conversion, just having the turrets faired over, but leaving the side gun positions open and some small passenger-type windows inserted. The next phase was the C-87 Express, which was built purely as a transport. There was also a Model 39, with a large single fin like the Privateer, but it did not proceed.

Thanks for playing.

Good one. I though it might have been a C-87 but all the pics I saw showed the shape of the nose as different. I was sure it was a B-24 variant but was still looking for the right one.
