    Yup, puts a pretty big hole in whatever it hits. If you have ever fired a .50 cal BMG rifle, that is a big cartridge. The GAU-8 round dwarfs it.

    I always felt that the C-74 was a very attractive airplane. Unfortunately, when they double-decked it to create the C-124 if got rather ugly, but more functional, so I guess the tradeoff was worth it.

    P-38 is really pretty, but Chain Lightning is pretty ugly.

    I really love Bonanza V-tail regardless of what has been heard and is happening.

    That is B-17, "ALL AMERICAN" after it had been rammed by an ME-109 in the Mediterranean Theater of Operations. Somewhere over Africa. They figure that the German pilot was either dead or wounded before the collision. It took the left stabilizer off as well as the sliced fuselage and the airplane made it back to its base..

    I was thinking of you when I posted it...like, "How funny would it be if this is Bob's work?"

    Would not have happened if it were a B-24.

    True. The entire tail would have come off. Then, I was involved in an incident of similarity with tail gunner Joe Frank Jones who rode the tail gunner's position down 13,000 feet after it was severed from the front half of his B-17, " Mr. Lucky". I had the bunk next to him at Langley Field in 1945 when two weeks later he returned to active duty with a fresh scar from an incision 12" long from his crotch to his chest where they put him back together. WE were good friends until I was transferred out. Image Unavailable, Please Login .

    One actually was set aside for a future U.S. Air Force Museum but was later unaccountably scrapped!

    If I remember correctly, B-29 engines and nacelles were used on this airplane. Bad way to start.

    Yes, the entire "power egg" (engine, prop, cowling, turbocharger) were the same.
