An unusual thing about the Me323 is the fact that there were no survivors at the end of the war.  They had all been destroyed by accidents or in combat.
These three pictures I found on line of the interior struck me as interersting.

I kind of get it why none made it to big a target to miss. From what I have read not exactly a trouble free air frame.







Also didn't know it had defensive guns mounted in it's wings.

Lol, yeah, those 9-10 ton light tanks with 15mm of armor. Good 'effing luck getting any WWII aircraft off the ground with not just 1 panzer IV on board, but MULTIPLE panzer IV's.


Only reason we can carry of our modern MBT's, let alone 2 or 3, is because of the turbo jet, and the aircraft themselves are larger.

The B-29 could lift the weight of a Panzer IV or T-34, but not the shape.

Exactly. Any aircraft that could lift the weight didn't have the cargo space.

It just occured to me:

SpenceAce should fly mostly EW aircraft for a little while (109E, 109F, C202, I-16). That way, when he goes back to the LW stuff, it will seem like the wunderwaffen hes been craving.

Wing area/loading...and less drag, too.

this plane only had 2 prototypes built, i know, i know,, so nobody start b--ching at me about how it never saw service. k..   it was the first plane considered to be used for the heavy water project (atomic attack on america).  it was one of the largest bomber they ever used and ,, honest i think it would be cool to have a plane with 6 engines anyway.
