The B-24 Liberator was a four-engine heavy bomber designed by Consolidated Aircraft and first flew on 29 December 1939. It became the most-produced American military aircraft of World War II, with over 18,400 units built. Unlike the B-17, the B-24 featured a distinctive high-aspect wing, tricycle landing gear, and a more modern, albeit complex, design.

Powered by four Pratt & Whitney R-1830 radial engines, the B-24 had greater range, speed, and payload than the B-17, making it especially valuable for long-range operations. It served in every major theatre: from bombing raids in Europe to anti-submarine patrols in the Atlantic and long-range missions in the Pacific and CBI (China-Burma-India) theatres.

The B-24 was notably used by the USAAF, RAF, RAAF, and other Allied air forces. It participated in missions like the infamous low-level raid on Ploiești, Romania, targeting oil refineries. Despite its operational success, the B-24 was considered harder to fly and more vulnerable to damage compared to the B-17.

Postwar, most were quickly scrapped. Today, only a handful survive, and just one remains airworthy.

Why are the stripes vertical?
Great question - and you're absolutely right that the U.S. flag is usually displayed with horizontal stripes. But in this design, we’ve reimagined the flag as an artistic tribute rather than a literal representation. We chose to depict the flag as if it were hanging vertically from above, similar to how it might appear draped at a hangar entrance or suspended during a ceremony. This vertical orientation allows the iconic silhouette of the aircraft to really shine - with the red and white stripes running the length of the fuselage, it creates a bold, centred look while still honouring the flag’s spirit and symbolism.
Flex fit , embroidered lettering and good shipping time. That's all you need from a hat and I Love Hangar delivered!
