Atka B-24D Liberator, World War II aircraft remains on Atka Island, United States.

The Atka B-24D Liberator wreckage sits on Atka Island in the Alaskan wilderness, with its fuselage partially intact and the tail section separated from the main structure. The aircraft remains have been exposed to the elements for decades, showing significant wear and corrosion.

The B-24D Liberator, serial number 40-2367, was built in 1941 and was on weather reconnaissance duty when poor weather prevented landing at nearby airfields, forcing a deliberate crash-landing on Atka Island on 9 December 1942. The only injury was a fractured collarbone sustained by Brigadier General William E. Lynd. The wreck site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979, included in the World War II Valor in the Pacific National Monument in 2008, and redesignated Aleutian Islands World War II National Monument in 2019.

The wreck is one of only eight surviving D-model B-24 Liberators, including partial and derelict airframes. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979, then included in the World War II Valor in the Pacific National Monument in 2008, redesignated the Aleutian Islands World War II National Monument in 2019.

The wreckage sits within the Aleutian Islands National Wildlife Refuge and requires special permits from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to visit. Visitors should prepare for the remote location on one of the Aleutian islands and bring appropriate gear.

The wreck was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
