Wings of Freedom Tour in Barnstable: B-24J Liberator
The B-24J Liberator is one of three World War II aircraft that will visit Barnstable this week.
The Collings Foundation's 24th season of the Wings of Freedom Tour stopped at the Barnstable Municipal Airport this week. Three restored aircraft will be on display Wednesday, Sept. 25, through Friday, Sept 27.
The planes that visited Barnstable include the B-24J Liberator, the P-51C Mustang and the B-17G Flying Fortress.
Visitors were given a chance to enter the planes and even take a flight after the tours.
The B-24J that landed in Barnstable this week is the only restored flying B-24J in the world.
The plane honors the 8th Air Force, which served in England during WWII. The "Witchcraft," which features a cartoon witch on the nose, completed 130 combat missions.
