They dont. At least not 4 engined bombers.

I have to agree, radials look much better on bombers. Some 2 engine bombers and fighters look allright with inlines.

Mosquito, Whirlwind and the P-38 looked great with inlines- can you imagine a Mossie with Bristol Hercules engines?

the lancaster kicks ass · 03-09-2005, 02:06 PM

man that'd be crap, but the lanc looked good with inlines...........

DerAdlerIstGelandet · 03-09-2005, 03:20 PM

On 2 engine fighters inlines look better obviously, but on 4 engine bombers? Can you imagine a B-17 or B-29 with 4 inline engines?

cheddar cheese · 03-09-2005, 04:24 PM

It just isnt right. Radials look so much better on bombers.

DerAdlerIstGelandet · 03-10-2005, 07:30 AM

I completely agree.

the lancaster kicks ass · 03-10-2005, 04:53 PM

but they tried the lanc with radials and she looks better with inlines........

cheddar cheese · 03-10-2005, 05:04 PM

No I dont agree. A good looking 4-engined bomber is as rare as a good French plane

the lancaster kicks ass · 03-10-2005, 05:07 PM

but you like the looks of the B-29??

cheddar cheese · 03-10-2005, 05:23 PM

I missed the word "inlines" out of that sentence

sorry. I mean a good looking four engined bomber with inlines

mosquitoman · 03-10-2005, 09:17 PM

The Lanc lookse good with inlines but the Hally and Stirling look just as good

I think the B-29 was one of the better looking bombers. She had a sleek quality well as sleek as a large 4 engine bomber can be.

cheddar cheese · 03-11-2005, 04:29 PM

I think it was the best looking 4 engined bomber, bar none.

I am fan of the B-17 when it comes to looks but yeah the 29 was a damn good looking aircraft.
