Production. B-24 bombers and C-87 transports. Wing center section for a B-24 bomber and C-87 transports ready for mating with fuselages on the assembly line. Both the bombers and the transport ships are capable of operation at high altitudes and over great ranges. The bomber proved itself an excellent performer in the Pacific, in Northern Africa, Europe and the Aleutians. The transport carries a greater human and cargo load than any other plane now in mass production
Production. B-24 bombers and C-87 transports. A wing center section for a B-24 bomber in a bomb bay mating jig at a Western aircraft plant. At this same plant is also built the new consolidated transport, an adaptation of the B-24 bomber, is known as the C-87 and is capable of operation at high altitudes and over great ranges for high accuracy bombing missions. It proved itself an excellent performer in the Pacific, in Northern Africa, Europe and the Aleutians
Production. B-24 bombers and C-87 transports. A tail fuselage for a consolidated B-24 bomber is being lowered to place in a fuselage meting fixture at a Western aircraft plant. Here, tail fuselage, wing center section and nose section are joined. This bomber carries a heavy bomb load and is capable of operation at high altitudes and over great ranges for high-accuracy boming missions. It is built in a plant equipped with one of the best air conditioning and fluorescent lighting systems in the country
Production. B-24 bombers and C-87 transports. Mated fuselage, nose and wing center sections of a consolidated transport plane are lowered as a unit into the carriage on which the shell will travel along the final assembly line. This new transport, an adaptation of the B-24 bomber, is known as the C-87, and carries one of the greatest human or cargo loads of any plane now in mass production. It is built in a plant equipped with the best and most modern air conditioning and fluorescent lighting systems in the country
Production. B-24 bombers and C-87 transports. Final additions are made to the shell of a consolidated transport plane in preparation for its trip down the final assembly line of a Western aircraft plant. This new transport, an adaptation of the B-24 bomber, is known as the C-87, and carries one of the greatest human or cargo loads of any plane now in mass production. It is built in a plant equipped with one of the best air conditioning and fluorescent lighting systems in the country
Production. B-24 bombers and C-87 transports. Center wing sections at a Western aircraft plant now producing consolidated B-24 bombers and transports. The new transport ship, an adaptation of the B-24 bomber, is known as the C-87, and carries one of the greatest human or cargo loads of any plane now in mass production -- and carries these great loads at high speeds
