No, it wasn’t a B-24. I’m looking for my copy of Desperate Journey to ID it for sure, but as I recall it was a 2-engine Lockheed Hudson.

And here's confirmation:
Flying scenes were shot at the Van Nuys Metropolitan Airport.[2] Warner Bros. was located in close proximity to the Lockheed aircraft plant, and was able to "borrow" a production Lockheed Hudson bomber for the film that was already destined for RAF use.
