Aircraft Trivia Quiz

19 - The 18 evident in the picture & the "fitted when required" astrodome, which is fitted in place of the forward upper hatch - as required;

I'm going to say 16, 8 on each side.

4 of them in a line, along the fuselage side, near the propeller line.  one more just aft of those, on an access door.  Two more, side by side, just above the rear portion of the fuselage bulge for the main landing gear, and one more on the rear side access door.  Both sides have these 8 windows in the same locations, hence 16 windows.

This A/C was the fastest prop aircraft to be used by both its land & sea bound operators, for its construction was fastest of all time, & for it engine configuration was the second fastest of all time.

No examples in either land or sea based variant survive, which is a shame.

You got it, your turn.

PS

If they wanted the M-4 to reach the US then they should of just made this and strapped some booster rockets on it instead of the container

VM-T Atlant, Based on the M-4;

Okay here we go this aircraft was a variant of a failed russian bomber and was designed to carry rocket boosters and once even the russian space shuttle to the cosmodrome.

One of my current projects is a Jake in the War in the Pacific GB. Anyone with something that was used in the PTO between 1939-1945 is welcomed.(Sorry had to do a plug)

You don't mean the B-1?

there cant be that many delta wing bombers lol what kind of era are we talkin?

No, The "correct line" with the Vulcan was the one way nuclear strike. Although smaller than the Vulcan, this aircraft is very much the bomber as opposed to some small fry fighter with a strap on nuclear toy.

One part of osher's last answer is nearly on the money.
