Rockets for shooting subs? Isn't that the navy version?

Glass nose P-38! 


I would have hated to be the bombardier sitting in the glass nose.  It was a suicide position if you had to hit the silk, the bombardier wouldn't have been able to get out in time.

used for what?  Certainly not for taking on fighter interceptors..... :headscratch:


I'm guessing it's just for testing, those don't look like RAF Coastal Command VLR B-24Gs which did carry rockets but had a different launcher than those in that picture.

IDK, I looked into it and found noting as to how often they where used against, at least, the German Subs.  Only info I did found was a total 72 German subs lost from liberators (U.S or RAF) attacks.

I know some know this plane, but what about the others who don't.  Give it a shot.

Rocket racks used against subs.  Not sure if they used them or experimental, been researching on it and came up with nothing as of yet.

111 Squadron Pilots: Skelly, Crowley, McLeod, Merkley, Gooding, Hicks, Gohl, Stusiak at Fort Greely, Kodiak, Alaska; April, 1943.

Only Gooding and McLeod survived the war.  :salute
