The Consolidated PB4Y-2 Privateer is a World War II and Korean War era patrol bomber of the United States Navy derived from the Consolidated B-24 Liberator.
In 1951, the type was redesignated P4Y-2 Privateer.
The Coast Guard operated P4Y-2 Privateers out of USCG Air Station San Francisco for search and rescue missions and for weather reconnaissance. They were redesignated P4Y-2G for this role.
The nose turret was replaced by a large glazing similar to that of the earlier B-24D, and the waist sponsons were deleted and replaced by large bay windows.
P4Y-2G Privateers served until 1958 with the USCG before being auctioned off for salvage.
The Consolidated Aircraft Corporation was founded in 1923. Consolidated became famous, during the 1920s and 1930s, for its line of flying boats.
The most successful of the Consolidated patrol boats was the PBY Catalina, which was produced throughout World War II and used extensively by the Allies.
Equally famous was the B-24 Liberator, a heavy bomber which, like the Catalina, saw action in both the Pacific and European theaters.
In 1943, Consolidated merged with Vultee Aircraft to form Consolidated-Vultee Aircraft, later known as Convair.
