Wow, that TEXACO fuel truck pic sure is neat, circa 1935 ?

All that's missing from that TEXACO picture, is a cigarette hanging from the driver's lips...

- how much in bombs did the P51 usually carry? - was one of those a more accurate bomber? - did accuracy matter? - why does the location of the guns in the nose allow for greater shooting distances? Chino 2013 - most P-38's I ever saw in the air at one time. I was told they left from Chino and ONT for battle back in the day. Full disclosure - I think I've posted these somewhere on PP before... http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1412272859.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1412272881.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1412272911.jpg |

on other aircraft the nose was full of engine, so the guns were mounted in the wings, some distance apart they were angled inwards or harmonized so that they formed a cone that concentrated the fire at a particular point at ranges greater or less than the ideal point the fire was less concentrated nose mounted guns were still harmonized but the sweet spot was much larger |
Wow - I had no idea. Thanks!
