Consolidated B-24 Liberator

When India wanted to build a bomber force, it turned to the option of reclaiming some of the junked B-24J Liberators from the graveyard at Kanpur. The Liberators were originally flown by the Royal Air Force. They have been grounded at Kanpur following the terms of the Lend Lease agreement with the United States.

HAL helped refurbish nearly 44 of these World War Two era bombers that served on till 1967. The first of these equipped No.5 Squadron, followed by No.6 Squadron in Maritime Recce Role.
