USA Est. 1923 1943 (merged into Convair)
Consolidated built the B-24 Liberator — the most produced American military aircraft ever — and the PBY Catalina flying boat that rescued downed airmen across the Pacific.
Heritage
More B-24 Liberators were built than any other American military aircraft in history. The PBY Catalina saved thousands of lives across the Pacific. Consolidated's designs may have been less glamorous than competitors, but they got the job done.
