You refer to this man: Ron, RS Wylie. Such a shame you are so determined to be ignorant of history, when any time prior to 2023 you could have asked him yourself like I did in 2008 ....when I asked him about the origin of this photo of Ju390 RC+DA? What is your psychological problem...

He 274 had a much greater wingspan than the He277 B-5, plus the wing was attached much further forward. The He277 however had an ability to carry a 4,065kg tonne bomb load to 49,210ft altitude. After the war France kept two He274 flying. Compared with B-29: Service ceiling. He-277: 15,000...

I dispute the Ju390 was intended as a bomber but the V3 prototype was evaluated for the role and found unsatisfactory. It was trialed in the maritime reconnaissance role. The Ju390 was always a long range transporter. A US Navy Intelligence report from 1945 details the type's performance...

Standard He177 bomb payload trade off with fuel carried: The RLM convened a meeting of manufacturers Heinkel, Junkers & Messerschmitt 11 January 1944 at Vienna to discuss the future of the severely underpowered Me264. From this emerged a proposal to use wings from the Me264 to create a...

Japan should have co-ordinated with Nazi Germany for a preemptive attack Hitler's obsession with bombing USA Hitler had a personal ambition to destroy America as early as 1928. Most people are aware of Hitler's political manifesto Mein Kampf, written in 1925, but few ever heard of Hitler's...

ARE Are you referring to these fuel cells?

Good question. the He177 was never a long range bomber, Limited by internal storage for 10,400 Litres of fuel. The He177 had a 7.56m Length bomb bay divided into three bays Each of the two rear bays could accommodate extra fuel bladder, but this displaced bombload He177 bomb bay In a...

The Ju287 had fixed spatted wheels, therefore , there is no conflict that wheels had to retract into the bomb bay. that just is not true. It had the fuselage from an He177 with the same 4.6m Length bomb bay of the He177 V38 aircraft. The Ju287 had a range of 850nm with a ceiling of 30,800ft...
