Along with another famous bomber, the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress, it helped gain victory over the Third Reich, and in large numbers served on the other side of the world, against the Japanese armed forces. The first prototype made its maiden flight on December 29, 1939 and more than 18,000 Liberators were built by the end of World War II. This number consists of many versions - bombers, recce and transport airplanes. Mass production was undertaken in five assembly plants and at its peak produced up to 650 aircraft per month. The assembly plants were operated by Consolidated in San Diego and Fort Worth, by Ford in Willow Run, by Douglas in Tulsa, and by North American, also in Dallas. Apart of the US air forces, the Liberator was flown by air forces of other nations. The Royal Air Force obtained around 2100 aircraft. Approximately 1600 of them were B- 24H, J and L models, the latter being redesignated by the British as Liberator VI / VIII. These aircraft were supplied under the Lend-Lease agreement between the spring of 1944 and August of 1945. Liberators B. VIs, that can be built from this kit, were produced by the Fort Worth plant as B-24Js, Block 86, 90 and 91. Our markings offer aircraft that served with No. 99, 159 and 356 Squadrons, RAF. All three units were subordinate to No. 231 Group, RAF. This Group was a part of Air Command South East Asia - ACSEA. This Air Command controlled all the air forces of the RAF and USAAF located in India, Burma and Indonesia, a total of 1500 aircraft in early 1945. This aerial armada outnumbered Japanese air force and enabled an efficient support to the war operation that led to the final defeat of the Empire of the Rising Sun. No. 99 Squadron obtained its first Liberator B. VIs in September 1944. The new aircraft replaced Wellington B. Xs. The squadron was based in Dhubalia airfield. The detachments used Agartala and Kumbhirgram airfields as their home bases. In the very final stage of the war, No. 99 Squadron moved to the Coco Islands, southwest off Java. The squadron marking consisted of a white disc on the black fin. No. 159 Squadron flew Liberator B. VIs from March 1944 to July 1945 when these were replaced by Liberator B. VIIIs. The squadron´s home base was Madhaiganj, India, quickly replaced by Digri, situated in today's Pakistan. The detached flights were based out of various airfields in Burma - Akyab or Pegu for example. No specific marking was used by this squadron. No. 356 Squadron was established in January 1944 at Salbani, India. The first combat mission was flown on July 27, 1944. The crews used their Liberator B. VIs for bombing as well as mining. From July 1945 on, the squadron operated from the Coco Islands but only one bombing mission against Japanese targets was flown. After the Japanese surrender, the squadron flew a lot of missions focused on searching for lost aircraft and supply drops. The last flight was made on November 12, 1945 and the unit was disbanded three days later. The squadron´s typical marking was a black rudder with a white diagonal cross.
