Early Access: B-25 - Tank Gun Bomber With Extra Firepower
Added 2024-04-10 22:33:35 +0000 UTCI was fortunate to find a B-25H armed with a 75mm tank gun at the New England Air Museum recently. Let's talk about why this bomber was converted to carry some heavy firepower!
Looking forward to your comments,

Sort of solving a problem that does not exist? I'd say it was a good investment in matching technology (radar) with a 75mm gun mounted in an aircraft. Plus how the crew positions were reviewed and eliminated. The evolution of a repurposed ground/sea attack. The good news is that production was limited to a few aircraft. Those crewmen, I'd say had permanent ear damage after a few sorties.
