WRONG AGAIN...
the B-17's bombay is 100% centered on the longitudinal axis of the fuselage. As a matter of fact, the bomb bay center line forms a major portion of the structure of the aircraft's wing. Without it, the wing would flex along the horizontal axis and the results would be catastrophic to the aircraft. On top of this, I personally rebuilt the center line structure along with ALL the bomb racks on "Liberty Bell", a flying B-17G. These structures were built 100% from the original drawings. While not difficult, it was a challenge considering the previous duty of the aircraft. I was not involved in the change of the "cat walk" into a more friendly walking environment through the bomb bay as it changed the original 11 inch catwalk into a more "user" friendly environment.

You just talked out your butt again... is that not being a "know-it-all" or what.

P.S... you cite 1 possibly erronous source, and have given no photos. So what's this "I'm able to cite sources and give photos"?
You may feel free to read more on the matter, or you may ignore my comments.
Krusty, I told you I have no scanner at my home. I said I would post a photo tomorrow when I am at work... would you prefer to add more spin to this?
