B-24A-CO Liberator
This B-24A-CO Liberator was found abandoned on Atka Island. The aircraft had to take a forced landing in 1942. In 1975 the US Navy removed it’s offensive armament. From the status of the aircraft frame, it’s safe to assume that although the landing was forced – it was safe. The pilot who had to land on this Alaskan island knew what he was doing. The climate of the area helps preserve this abandoned prop-engine aircraft – the cold and frigid temperatures keeps rot and rust from taking over completely.
