By comparing the B-29 and Lancaster and the lancaster loaded with both types of bomb and all their relative sizes I am confident in saying that the picture shows the Tallboy, which was a 12,000lb bomb. Even so, carrying a pair like that is mightily impressive.

 | I like the B-17 it was just iconic throughout the war. It may not of been the best in the sense of bomb load, or range but it did get the job done. |

| Just for you, and any other B-17 fans, you may like this rarity I found out recently. Note the text
