New theory! B-25G flying at tree-and-mast-height in the south Pacific on ship-attack runs with a 75mm cannon, 8 rockets, 3 1000lb bombs or a torpedo!

Saco, MAINE!!!!

GermansRGeniunes, Are you shure the B-25G had that cannon? I am pritty shure it is only the H and that experiment was found poorly profitable. The hardnose with 8 or 10 .5 inch guns were much better and you get the co-pilot back.

Lanc-interested in what?

MP-Willow, the B-25G was the first version of the B-25 to be equipped with a 75mm cannon with 21rpg. Backing this weapon up were 2 .50cals with 400rpg. The later B-25H had the 75mm cannon, plus 4 .50cals in the nose and 4 more bolted on to the fuselage sides, all with 400rpg.

Lanc, although Kommando Notwony didn't fly in the Pacific, the Japs had an Me-262 of their own.

The Kikka!

Mainly the same, but the wings were straight.
