Ok, here is my entry for the Medium Bomber Challenge!

I don't know about you, but when I think of meduim bombers, I tend to think of 1940's designs. The Ju-88, the B-26, the Vickers Wellington, the G4M and so on...

I still remember building my very first Airfix kit, as a 7 year old, several decades ago... It was none other than the "Widow Maker". The Martin B-26G Marauder. I had no idea what I was doing and got glue all over the place. It looked like crap and I was so proud of it.

Anyway - here is my entry;

The Curtiss - Wright B-27 Crusader

A fictional mish mash of design features from the B-26, the B-25, the G4M and god knows what else, which ended up looking very much like the B-26...

She has a cockpit, of sorts, (see Pilot and Co Pilot cameras). She has a bomb-aimer position, a nose gunner, a tail gunner and a turret gunner. She also carries 5000lbs or so of bombs in an internal bomb bay. Oh, and 4 20mm cannon in fixed forward firing positions for your strafing pleasure. I took the liberty of reducing the power of the cannons, so that you aren't putting holes through the USS Beast with one salvo...

She is quite easy to fly, with a good roll rate for a reasonably big twin and landing should be a dawdle with tricycle landing gear. She is also fairly trim neutral. One draw back is my standard feature of some very slight auto roll...

Flight instructions (as well as a take off primer) should pop on screen at start up. Just remember to open the bomb bay (AG3 BEFORE releasing the bombs (AG4). Oh, and keep her straight and level when bombing or you will probably get hang - ups.

Bombs away, gents!
