See the engine on one side, and the tip of the other engine on the other? That's mounted under the fuselage, between both engines.

Also note it says "asymmetrical"? Normally there'd be two of those mounted right over the bomb bay doors, but there's only 1 in that photo.


EDIT: P.S. That's the same bomb rack I was referencing above. I've even seen it on 3D models and scale model kits. It's definitely under the fuselage.


Hell, you may be right... I will keep looking for more detailed informations...

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.

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?

Umm, I think Krusty was saying that the 17's bomb bay IS centered.  Just worded a little odd.  I think he meant it as "unlike the B-17s.".

That's what I got out of it.
Krusty said the B17 DID have a centered bomb bay.

Even so...Bodhi seems so quick to jump on the "look look look you're wrong I'm right" wagon. I have no respect for people with this kind of attitude and therefor don't really care what they have to say.

HE-111 will be needed, and will see some use.
Heck, I'd fly it just for the looks. A true beauty!

It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

He111 R20/R1 could carry 16 troops and drop hatch.

Yes, though it would be more of a welcome back, I have been on/off aces high since it was open beta :). though about wwiiol, it is and remains to be a complete mess with server populations always beating record lows.
