Author Topic: P38 Bomber! (Read 1784 times)

Since everyone keeps insisting on calling the P38 a bomber...

The Droop Snoot was equipped with a Plexiglas nose and an ultra-secret Norden bomb sight. The bombardier was in the nose.

The Pathfinder was a P-38J (or L) modified with special ground-mapping radar and served as the lead plane for P-38 formations who were bombing through cloud-covered targets. It could often pick out targets and checkpoints which would otherwise be obscured by weather. The operator was housed in the forward part of the gondola with a large side window, but did not have any forward visibility, which a Droop Snoot bombardier would have.

Droop snoots were 38s built for the vertically impaired.

Do you have any pictures of the Lockheed P-38 Cruise Missile?

If the bombardier farted he would hit the pilots face with amazing accuracy

Hmm...interesting that someone would call the 38 a bomber.

The other day we had someone calling the 110 a bomber too.

Seems like someone might need a few books to improve their knowledge about WWII planes.
