Douglas B-19M Heavy Torpedo Bomber

5,550 LonelySea22  5 months ago

A heavy bomber that might have been.

This is a heavy torpedo bomber designed for use in marine and island theaters without conventional runways. With her extended range and flying boat hull she can take off and land on almost any body of water. Heavy lift capacity means she can deliver a devastating payload of Boom 25s on target, and a dozen torpedos make her a ship-killer. She boasts three turrets for protection from aerial assault.

Operational instructions:

-All flight controls normal.
-Activation groups 1-4 start engines
-Activation group 5 disables control surfaces (except flaps and trim) and unlocks gun turrets. Also provides moderate gyroscopic stabilization
-Activation groups 6 & 7 drop bombs
-Deactivating action group 8 opens the bomb bay doors

All cockpit controls are functional.
