Starting in March 1941, the U.S. Army Air Force transferred six YB-24s and twenty B-24As (this one being number 18) to Great Britain. The U.S. redesignated the YB-24s as LB-30A and the B-24As as LB30B. They received standard British serial numbers. The British called the LB-30B Liberator Mk. I. "LB" was short for Liberator British.
