Best Allied Heavy Bomber

[carman1877]

Just want to point out something after Flyboy said that the B-29 had tricycle landing gear. The B-24 Liberator also had tricycle landing gear. The Liberator also had improvements over the B-17 and Lancaster in that, the bomb bay doors rolled up to reduce drag. Unlike the B-17 the ball turret could be retracted when not in use to reduce drag, and to protect the turret and gunner during belly landings. becuase of the roll up bomb bay doors the B-24 could keep its high speed while on the bomb run.
