HAVOC II DOUBLE CYCLONE (SECRET) ORIGINAL AIR MINISTRY PHOTO OCT 1941

Nice front view that shows how slender the type's fuselage was. The Boston/Havoc II had the R-2600 engine as a point of difference to the earlier DB-7 Boston I. This type was the extensively remodelled version for USAAF needs which differed to the DB-7s that the Brits and French received. This is possibly Havoc II AH433 or AH464, which both had a battery of 12 X .303 MGs in the nose. There were issues with overheating, but AH433 had little issue with this at all, receiving praise, but AH464 was troublesome, with a dangerous concentration of carbon monoxide lingering in the aircraft after firing. Note the AI radar aerial in the extreme nose.
