Virtual tour of a B17-G and a B-29

[Jimbuna]

Pretty cool for those who might be interested:

B-17G https://my.matterport.com/show/?m=ArPe3NZ5f1o

B-29 https://my.matterport.com/show/?m=Qa3Lu8iPfHW

A note to B-29explorers, you will have to exit the bomb bay and renter the aircraft through the aft bay to complete the tour. Or if you are really athletic you can use the longitudinal tunnel behind the cockpit.

I wish they would bring back that old B-17 airsim game with modern graphics and fast speed memory and processor. :yep:

Must be too expensive to take a chance on old games we loved when they first came out. The gamers are crying for them, though.

This will have to do till we can shoot down the enemy fighters and make it on time to our bomb run. :up:

All those uncovered wires and cables and tows - like on an old sailing ship.

Nice find, thanks!

B2 and Blackjack next, please!

Here's one I've been in, Avro Lancaster 'Just Jane'.

Excellent Link and Images. The Lancaster's interior looks to be a very spartan .

Quote: Also famous was a series of Lancaster attacks using Tallboy bombs against the German battleship Tirpitz, which first disabled and later sank the ship.
Galland (commander of the Luftwaffe fighters) considered the Lancaster to be "the best night bomber of the war", as did his adversary, Arthur "Bomber" Harris, who referred to it as the RAF Bomber Command's "shining sword.

I remember the first time I was able to crawl though a B-17 that was on static display. I was shocked at how small it was inside.

And all that thin plywood armour to protect the crew.
