A20 HAVOC DB7 USAAF PILOTS MANUAL

[Traveler]

i understand bank angle.. he said 40 percent. wtf is a 40 percent bank? percent of what?


No, he didn't write 40 percent bank, he wrote:

     STATES UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD A PILOT EXCEDE BANKING  OF MORE THAN 40%. TH WINGS WILL BREEAK OFF.......

I have no idea why he chose to use the percent symbol when he should have used Degree, perhaps because there is no Degree symbol on the standard key board.  I'm just guessing.

Nothing in the pilot notes about maneuvering load limits. The A-20 is the ATTACK version, I'm guessing DB-7 is DOUGLAS BOMBER, and the P-70 is the PURSUIT aka FIGHTER version.  Our A-20 is a bomber that can be legitimately flown as a fighter.

You could say an A-20(P-70) to a P-38 is like a P-47 to a P-40. 


BTW 40% of 180 degree bank is 72 degrees. The Zeno's video says you should avoid bank angles over 75 degrees. I'm guessing that instruction refers to fully loaded bombers.

It would seem you and my squadmate had some philosophical differences on the subject

i've rebuilt an A20G and an RAAF Boston DB7B.

The wings never fell off when I went to the bank ...

just sayin'

Well in AH reincarnation, the A20 not only outturns some fighters, (while shooting at 4g with top turret at 1.5k and hit ) -full with bombs , they also seem to soak up unreasonably amount of damage.

Does the A20 manual say anything about external views?

Back in WW2 there was an F3 key on the controls, which means it is correctly modeled for accuracy
