Thank you. And, sorry my mistake. I have that manual. 10 is possible. I did not count the two extra bombs which could be added, when my memory failed me earlier today. I looked at a note I have about the bomb stations and how many which can be loaded and those two extra bombs were not included.
Please show me that information, since that could be new to me and very relevant for my research. The flight manuals I have give me 8 stations in the main and 6 in the aft for the 300lbs bomb.
I would like to reply to the opening post with the photo of the B-26 dropping 26-28 bombs.
This photo is not fake. I have tried to find an answer myself to why there were over 20 bombs in the main bomb bay, since there were only twenty bomb stations in it. I have recently found the answer in...
Does that mean that the A-4 sometimes attacked bombers using only the machine guns in the ****-pit, or did the A-4 have a belly pod or something like that? Using only the machine guns in the ****-pit sounds like it would be almost suicide to attack an enemy bomber. Are there any recorded night...

I have found some information that the Ju 88A-4 was used as a night fighter by for example NJG 7. As I understand it the A-4 was a bomber. How was it used a a night fighter, and what was its armament as...
Thank you for all replies so far. I appreciate your help very much. I have also read in the B-26 manual that there was heat and oxygen in the B-1 and C models, but was that needed when flying at the altitudes the B-26 usually flew on?
I also found in the manual that an oxygen regulator was...
I wonder if there is anyone who can answer three questions I have about the B-26 Maruader. My sources are limited and the new B-26 book I recently bought did not answer them.
a) Did the B-26 have an AFCE (Automatic Flight Control Equipment)?
b) Was there heat for the crew men in the B-26...
Arigatoo genkidesukasan. Genki? are the documents you have anything you can upload? Do you know which unit or units used the W.Gr in June 1943, and on which operations?
I am looking for information about the Werfergranate 21. Att he moment I have very limited sources at home and in th library, and I can find very little on the Internet.
What I am especially looking for:
1. When was it first used?
I have several dates:
