Bomber Bicep: B-24 Liberator Tattoo

Posted on January 20, 2009

Being the most produced multi-engine aircraft in history (with over 18,000 built), the Consolidated B-24 Liberator seems like a fitting aircraft to be immortalized in ink. More crews flew aboard the B-24, and the aircraft flew more missions and dropped more ordinance than any other aircraft used during World War II. Though the B-24 wasn’t as popular in the media as it’s sistership, the B-17 Flying Fortress, the B-24 still made up the backbone of the American strategic bombing campaign during the war.

The B-24 saw service in both the European and Pacific Theaters… including the harsh climate of the Aleutians and the heat of North Africa.

In tribute to the B-24, one of the greatest aircraft of all time, we present this beautiful black and gray tattoo. Artist Brett J. Barr of Built 4 Speed Tattoo of Orlando, FL completed the piece.
