Smut,

Are you sure you're not thinking of the nose from "FlakBait", the B-26 we already have?

Ahhh...that could be. It's been at least five years since I've been up there myself.

Kinda like this one? This is a model of an A-20G I built about 10 years ago of Mr. Hobday's plane. He flew for that group--the 312th Bomb Group. The group was divided into 4 squadrons. Each used a playing card logo on the fuselage as its designator. Hobday's squad used a spade. I forget the squad numbers. Wanna say it was something like 286-289th.

At that time I couldn't reproduce the "Ball of Fire" nose art. Technology's there today with scanners and better printers. Wish I could get that model back for a lil tweaking. Coulda used some weathering too. ; )

Come on fellas! I know somebody's gotta have some good shots. Even pictures of a model of the Boston III would work. (Nice A-20 btw Drano) Really, really, really need bombadier position pics!

How is this?

qts · « **Reply #26 on:** April 08, 2002, 02:58:26 PM »

No inside pics, but look at American Planes of WW2 pp87-93 ISBN 1-84013-392-9 and British Planes of WW2 pp89-91 ISBN 1-84013-391-0. The formar has a cutaway schematic.

I'm looking forward to this plane: it's a half-way house between the Mosquito and the heavy bombers.
