The Panama Aviation PA-4 had a unique design that placed the engines in pods protuding from the sides of the main fuselage. On these small wing surfaces were two hard points, which were mostly meant to carry bombs. The standard loadout of the PA-4 was: four .30 caliber machine guns, two rocket pods, two 250 pound bombs, and four ATG missiles. These aircraft, flown by the "Black Panther" squadron, were the first to attack major US cities like New York and Chicago. It sported a crew of three: pilot, navigator, and weapons officer. Enjoy!
