Consolidated R2Y "Liberator-Liner". Designed to carry Navy personnel/cargo to far-flung bases, but was rejected in favor of conventional transports. It was also leased by Consolidated to American Airlines. new fuselage designed for the transport role, the wings taken from the B-24 Liberator and the tail taken from the PB4Y Privateer. This was the only R2Y ever built, as the type didn't enter production.
