Why didn't they just make the landing gear taller?

Later they had some issues....including getting sued for 10 mill....lotta bucks back then, two wanker sales reps went to jail.

From your "hint", could it be a Vought built aircraft? So, could it be an SB2U Vindicator?


Notice the unique bomb release device as this was a dive bomber. The fork or "trapeze" would swing the bomb clear of the aircraft during a dive.
