Country:  | For the Love of the Bomber if the Italians would have convinced the germans they needed a true 4 engine heavythey had it with the p.108! Yes it is a little like the b-17 but the p108 would have been great if it could have been produced in mass. The raids in the med and North africa prove it had promise. But it was made in small numbers and so it was lacking! but it could have chased the russians over the mountains and really got the RAF in trouble!
But for me no hard pic B-24

Country: | A point for the thought that Japan would not have gone to war with the US is just that a thought! They wanted to have what the europeans had land power Empire! They did that by going into china, Korea and south east Asia. To do that was to get the USN out of the water! They did for the time that Yamamoto had predicted.
As for all you B-29 lovers it was designed for the ETO and would have been used there, but to say that the atomic bombs would have been dropped in Germany that is a fuzzyer question. But Japan might have surandered with out the bombs, all we had to do was let general LeMay burn it to the ground, he hearly had already. We might have had to fight until 1946, but that was sooner the the planned invasion of the home islands.
As always the B-24 was best 4 engine Heavy!

| What type of bomber? A mosquto is better than a B-17 in some respects, but it probibly had less of an effect on the war. | |

| They didn't need to bother with B-17s they should've sent in formations of Mosquitos - after they dropped their payload they could've got away without that many being shot down because of their amazing speed

Could the fact that it was such a normal sight over Europe be put down to the fact that they built so many of them??
