| How can you forget to include the Douglas A-26 Invader?
16 forward firing .50 caliber machine guns. Eight in the nose, six in the wings and two in the dorsal turret. Plus an internal bombay that can carry 4,000lbs of bombs and the ability to carry another 2,000lbs under the wings.
That's a BADASS airplane. |

I read once that there is at least 1 B-25 pilot that is an ace by shooting down 5 Japanese aircraft in the air.
| Holy crap, imagine having all that firepower aimed at you... bet that they didn't have any idea what hit them. Fragile anyways, and I guess anything is considered fragile when eleventy billion .50's are firin on ya!

I had never seen an aircraft completely disintegrate in the air the way this Me-110 did..."
