WOW! Someone stuck a B-17 Nose on a B-24!

WOW! Someone stuck a B-17 Nose on a B-24!

I wonder how this "adaptation" handled in the air? The later model B-24s with the Emerson Tail turret that had been grafted onto the nose were known for wallowing about. Also I read somewhere that the nose turrets caused a small decrease in performance.

In looking at a few websites I did not see anything to confirm the above views but I will admit to not looking very hard.

Back to work I must go, got a few small projects to get wrapped up this weekend.

Good evening feather.

Mr. Howell, or the Professor?

Oh boy, what a choice. I'd have to get off the island.

[snippy_about_it]

Sounds like another subject for a thread.

And you'll start working on them soon right. :-)

Those are good ideas. Ya'll keep 'em coming.

Good evening PE.

Howdy ma'am.

BTW, the coconut radio might get you off the island. A burnt $100 bill won't help much.

[snippy_about_it]

That's true, the money would do no good.

Howdy, Valin,

Never really thought to research the subject, looks pretty hard to get at. I have just seen a few sentences here and there on the Pacific War, and a little more on Europe. Okumiya talks about "long range four engine bombers" being the real intelligence problem for the Japanese, and as I recollect B17s were rare in the Pacific in the later years of the war. Not long enough range and needed in Europe.

Mostly I have read some and deduced a little of electronic intelligence aircraft methods and tactics, and can sometimes "fill in the gaps" in otherwise incomplete accounts. Stories here and there, then connect the dots.

I know this thread is very old but if someone is very familiar with the structure of the B-24 airframe can they please send a message to me? I am building a cross sectional display model of this plane and could use some help understanding certain parts of the inside details.
