Consolidated LB.30 Liberator II 

The Consolidated LB.30 was an export model of the B-24 Liberator heavy bomber and actually entered service with Great Britain before the US Army (hence the different designation).  Liberator II AL557 was taken on charge with the Royal Air Force on 13 October 1941.  The aircraft was assigned to 120 Squadron of Coastal Command in 1942, transferring to 159 Squadron in the China-Burma-India Theatre in 1943.  In 1945 AL557 briefly saw service with the Mediterranean Allied Air Forces, before ultimately converted into a passenger transport by Scottish Aviation Ltd.  She flew with Scottish Aviation until 1948, after which she was sold to Greece as part of their fledgling national airline, who named her Maid of Athens.  In 1951 she returned to the United States as a freighter for Morrison-Knudsen, helping build the Distant-Early-Warning radar line in Canada and Alaska.  In 1958 she suffered an accident near Kalikat Creek, and was not recovered until 1990.  AL557 was acquired by Project Warbird in 2023 for restoration back to her wartime configuration.
