The Collings airplane is the only flying B-24. The CAF has an LB-30 which

they
bill as a B-24. The LB-30 was a transport version and does not have a

bombbay.
There were also differences in the engines (LB-30 didn't have

turbochargers).


The LB-30 was a bomber built for the British. After Pearl Harbor, and prior
to delivery to the British, the USAAF commandeered them. Some, like the
CAF's, were converted to transports.
