Country: | thanks 
ok, so the payload of the P-108 is 7,716lbs (i rounded it down) but thats still more than the b-17 and i think the P-108 looks better and they only made 35 P-108's, so quite rare too

Country: | don't you think there could have been another reason for only making 35 or 103 (depends who's side you're on) P-108's? think about it?

Country: | perhaps they were so secret that they didn't want people to know how many there were?
