WW2 Plane Trivia Question #1

[Bullethead]

Rather than post up pics for folks to identify, I'm just going to ask questions.  It's up to you all to search your memories and books to find the answers.

#1:  Can you name 3 WW2 planes, each from a different country, that mounted their tail turrets higher on the plane than their mid-upper turrets?

By higher on the plane, I mean that when the fuselage is level, the base of the tail turret is above the base of the mid-upper turret.

Hi Bullethead,

>#1:  Can you name 3 WW2 planes, each from a different country, that mounted their tail turrets higher on the plane than their mid-upper turrets?

I can name one: The Dornier Do 24.

Dornier-Fairchild just went bankrupt, by the way. (And they had kept working at a Do 24 derivative during the 1970s and 1980s.)

Damn, somebody actually read this thread.  Some folks must be really bored

Good job.  All the correct answers that I know of are flying boats and Andijg got all the ones I was thinking about:  Mavis, Do24, and PBM

And all the B-25.

No! the B-25s dorsal gun was a little higher.
