Hmmm, yeah, I see what you mean there...it's bugging me too, but I've narrowed it down to the A26 series but a modification on it. I'll have to give in, however, here's a REAL easy one for you all :lol: (Edit, dang, hadn't even heard of that one before TLAM, good find :D)

Do you have MS Flight Sim? There is at least one download of a b-58 model ( http://flyawaysimulation.com/downloads-file-132-details.html ) although I confess, I have not tried it as I am not a registered member.

Ooh, and there is also this - http://www.fsstation.com/news/alphasim-releases-convair-b-58-hustler.html for $26

Can I ask one thing, Is it a Strategic or Tactical Bomber?

[Raptor1]

B-36D and the YB-49 right?

I think the most important thing the B-36 ever did was become the first flying nuclear reactor...

[Platapus]

six turning four burning!

[seafarer]

Even though the YB-49 never made it into production, it was nice that they gave Jack Northrop security clearance to see the plans and pre-production model of the B-2. While he died before the first rollout, at least he knew that his ideas had finely come to full fruition.

[Raptor1]

Indeed, even though it flew almost 45 years after the YB-49, the B-2 can still be considered the YB-49's descendant

[Sailor Steve]

The YB-49 may not have made it into production, but it did have a lovely starring role in the original War Of The Worlds. It tried to nuke the Martians.

Fighter/Interceptor - The AVRO Arrow (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CF-105_Arrow). Which is a simultaneously both a symbol of amazing technological achievement, and monstrous political ineptitude.

Yeah, I edited my post a little before you posted, It's not a bomber, that's why I didn't get it at first

I know, but it was near as big as some bombers of that era :D And since it was designed to be capable of carrying unguided Genie missles with 1.5kT nuke warheads, it could have fired those at anything. Heck, the internal munitions bay was big enough to carry just about anything!

[Raptor1]

Junkers Ju-89, Joe

Junkers Ju-89, Joe

Seafarer, I suppose, But by this standard you can call pretty much anything a bomber, I can say a C-17 is a bomber if I take a bomb and ram it into the cargo hold

True, but then they do use C-130's to drop daisy cutter (BLU-82Bs) and MOAB (GBU-43Bs) from. Are they not bombers, if being used to drop bombs? Was not the F-105 one of the most used bombers in Vietnam. Where do you draw the line with planes officially catagorized as fighter/bomber, strike-bomber, or cargo-bomber?

Was the De Havilland Mosquito a fighter, night fighter, bomber or what (my answer is all 3).

I say if they are used or intended to be used to drop bombs, then they are bombers? WWII saw to that, with the distinction of bomber becoming one of operation, not (necessarily) design. So we have strategic bombers (which this thread has mainly posted), but also tactical bombers, strike fighters (or fighter bomber if you prefer), but all are still bombers, to my mind.

[Raptor1]

Hmm, True, But the Arrow was never intended to be a bomber or carry bombs, You can call a non-bomber a bomber if it actually ever bombed anything or was designed with that ability in mind

But it's all very complicated, so...w/e

Anyway, that Romanian plane, Ju-88?

Handley Page V/1500!

Truly odd

[seafarer]

:D Yup - I just never understood the folding wings? It was long range bomber - suppose it meant you could use smaller hangers, but still?

[Raptor1]

Me neither, I always assumed it's to save hanger space too (Think about it, the wingspan was enormous at them time at 38m)

Maybe they were just foreshadowing the coming of HMS Furious and the Aircraft Carrier

[Takao]

Douglas Y1B-7.

Didn't awnser the video question because it stated what the planes were in the little info section youtube videos have. Although before it recieved its Army designation, it was the Boeing Model 214. The Boeing Model 215, identical to the 214 but with radial engines, was designated the YB-9. The Y1B-9 had Curtiss Conqueror liquid cooled engines, that were eventually replaced by Pratt & Whitney Hornet radial engines

Hint: It's fast!

The Vigi, what a beautiful plane (if somewhat flawed in its original mission) and it it was indeed as fast as a scalded cat! It was also huge and took some real talent to land on a pitching deck. Also, notice two things, how far back the nosewheel is behind the cockpit, making night taxiing on the carrier an interesting experience to say the least, and how the navigator basically has two teeny tiny windows from which to view the outside. :o

[Raptor1]

Stealth, AEG J.I/II?

CAC CA-4 Woomera, and that specific plane is a prototype.
Don't know what's unusual about it but I must find out:yep:

Edit: Is it the 2 power operated turrents, each with 2x .303 guns at the rear of both engine nacells?
Edit: And that the guns were remotely controlled from the rear cockpit using a sighting periscope.

Actually, the Aviatik series could be configured for bombing missions, though their primary use was in reconnaissance (however, I suppose your concept of "bombing" would come into question there, as all they really did was throw a few grenade-like balls of explosives in with the observer and he'd lob them out).

NOT WHATEVER, BOY.

I'm getting that information from a decade-old or so documentary simply entitled "The Red Baron", as produced by Halbgebauer Productions, Ltd., Toronto, Canada, as released by Hawkins Communications, Inc., Toronto, Canada, as distributed by Questar/TravelNetwork, Inc. (P.O. Box 11345, Chicago, Illinois 60611). It is approximately an hour in length and the box art on the back contains four pictures (five if you count the Brit plane in the background), which are those of Werner Voss standing by the cowl of his Fokker DR.1, two British soldiers inspecting the Baron's Spandau MGs, a crashed Fokker E.III, and a DR.1 with its upper wing completely shredded and a white-black tail design (stripes, mind you; it's also missing the rudder).

[Raptor1]

Well, I'm getting my information from a 3 year old nightmare of a blind monk standing on top of a Sopwith Camel holding the flag of the United States of Central America in one hand, the head of a donkey in the other and mumbling historical facts about WWI aircraft for 6 hours straight...

The Aviatik wasn't designed to carry bombs IIRC, ofcourse the pilot could drop grenades but you could do that from any plane
