bomber

This obscure plane saw quite limited service during ww2. It was designed from the tri-engine ca.101, and despite the reliability risk of a single engined bomber (especially inline engines), it turned out to be a good decision. It was faster than the ca.101 and the ca.133. It mostly served in...

Hi. Newbie here. Have had this glass bubble for the past 20+ years. A vet once told me he believed it was a light cover from a WWII bomber. There are no attachment doohickies or other elements that would seem to allow this to "lock" into place or screw in somewhere. Metal rim feels like...

My cousins grandfather flew aboard a ww2 american Consolidated B-24 Liberator bomber nicknamed "The O-Bitch-u-airy Mary". I recall that it was shot down over France and he survived but most of his crew, dear friends of his, did not. There was a photo hanging in his house of the plane and the...

Hi, gents, did you know this russian beauty?, DB LK. Bomber. Nice.

I'm working on a movie and we need to build a replica B-24 cockpit. I'm looking for technical drawings of a B-24 bomber. Ideally, we would love a scale drawing or the plans to include measurements. Thanks!

I share with you the history of the medium bomber built by the Douglas should replace a company's success, the B-18 Bolo, but eventually supplanted by its competitors. Does anyone know if the plane came into action during WW2? If so, how was your performance? In the link below you will find a...

Fairly spread among Axis nations was the practice of producing and using exploding ammo for their heavy machine guns. Did it really improved the firepower of a fighter or bomber (vs. the usual ammo used), to justify the investments? Granted, in most cases the 20 mm stuff will not fit where an...

So let's see if this is the new punching bag for the press! I worked on the B-2 AV3 - 7 and wish Northop and its employees all the best. I always felt Northrop got screwed over by the premature B-2 cancellation. Air Force picks Northrop Grumman to build next big bomber - Yahoo News

I wonder if anyone out there can help me? I'm wondering if anyone has good links or can recommend good books where I can find out about the German nightfighter system? I'm interested in the whole thing, ground control, how the aircraft operated, capabilities of the radars and aircraft, what...

Looking at the Hs 124 as light bomber, it looks like with either DB605s, 603s, or BMW 801s it would be as good an option as the Me410 in terms of a light bomber. Does anyone have any idea what it would have been with even the Db601 engines? It looks like it would have been a solid...
