Looks like a Liberator, with the nose turret of a B-17. Looking the Liberator up at wikipedia, says it's an experimantal B-24J, and I guess that's where you've got the picture from..

No, Viper, you're not supposed to encourage him

That is correct!

You must have the same reference book as me :lol:

Cannot confirm or deny, move along

Would that be the Martin...XB-51?

This one would the first prototype

Yeah,,,,your definitely using the same reference material :yep:

I've a couple of hundred e-books on an external drive and I had to choose this/that one :lol:

I'm not using your reference book, I read the damn tail numbers...

Your eyesight is much better than mine....I'm struggling to read the Dornier one

You seriously want me to blindly guess at this one, don't you?

Ju 290?

The tail does look suspiciously like the 290's...

And landing gear...

True, but I wouldn't judge based only on the landing gear, after all, many planes have that sort of landing gear
