I saw a 190 next to a b17, it was about 1/2 it's size.  b17's were not really as big as they say.

And then seeing a B17 next to a B29 really puts into perspective how huge the B36 peacemakers were

I've been around B-25's several times, but I was at an airshow where one was parked next to a TBM - and the Avenger was just as big!

What I find shocking is that the p40 has the same dimensions as the p51.
