Sorry for being clueless but..

The 88's engines were going and controled by the pilot in the fighter.. autopilot took over after release from the piloted fighter, lots of varients were thought of aswell... looks pretty fun to use... imagine that 190s hitting a CV

then again if i had a choice id want my He111 with Hs missles instead.

oh.

[trigger2]

I wonder what that things roll rate would be if you stuck a 190 on it...

Would it roll like a p47 then? Or like a b24...

If ever you see a F-16 towing a b52 into combat to be used as a big* bomb, weep for america. * and yeah i know we used alot of our bombers in the same way..on tests and such.*


lol.

     I can't find the magazine right now, but the US Navy used tv guided
light twin aircraft loaded with a 2K bomb as guided missiles during the
later part of WW2.  It was used successfully on some beached ships in
the Pacific.


     Of course there was Project Aphrodite using war weary bombers filled
with explosives to hit the sub pens in Europe as well

Kennedys don't have very good luck with vehicles do they?

Hmm.. thinking about it some more, I wonder if the LW ever did any other crazy junk with their Aircraft? (other then ramming)

Joseph Kennedy Jr. And he never got the chance to jump.  The plane blew up prematurely

They designed the first stealth bomber... it was a flying wing design. They were going to use it to Atom-Bomb New York but the war ended before they could get the atom bomb and the long-range variant of the bomber working.
The radar-deflection was discovered by accident, while testing the aircraft.

History Channel, I know... but the actual aircraft is at the National Air&Space Museum in Washington D.C.
