Guess the airplane!

[Ex-RoNiN 0]

The rules are the following: post 1 picture of a military aircraft. Keep the forum rules in mind (nothing explicit, image size less than 100kb etc.) though.

Then you must guess which aircraft it is.

I will kickstart this with the following:

[Tex -USMC- 0]

Avro Lancaster

Nope, correct time era though

[Tex -USMC- 0]

Wasn't the B-24 a 4-engine bird? I say it's a B-25 Mitchell

*edit* nevermind, hard to see the inboard engines on that pic

Nope. There are 4 engines on it, it is just a really low quality pic, and they are very close to the fuselage

Stupid me- I forgot the Lancaster didn't have tricycle landing gear. Consider me abashed. And go ahead and post the next one Ronin, Im just getting warmed up; I used to live and breath this stuff before I found out about girls, of course

[Ex-RoNiN 0]

Heh, ok, you are abashed, officially

Ok, here's the next one

[Col. Kurtz 0]

Its either the Hawker Typhoon or its spin-off, the Tempest.

Great Idea Ronin, this is a cool topic!

[Tex -USMC- 0]

Typhoon

[Ex-RoNiN 0]

Yepp, a Typhoon

You can post pictures too, you know

Until you do, though, here's the next:

My turn!

Just a hint for people posting pictures, make sure you check the name of the picture, it might give away the name of the plane!

*ahh, didnt see you posted another one Ronin*

Right, a poor guess but I say either B-17 or B-29.

Nope, too many engines

[Tex -USMC- 0]

Nope!

I'll give you a hint, it was plagued with engine troubles due to the fact it had four engines coupled to power two rotors and was named 'the flying cigeratte lighter' by the Luftwaffe.

Correct

Well, if you look closely, then you will see that his plane has German markings, so it has to be a German bomber Looks more like a FW-200 than anything else to me

Maybe its that secret bomber that managed to fly to New York

No, it was actualy the only Heavy Bomber the Luftwaffe got into production in WW2, but lack of fuel and problems with the design stopped it from doing much good.

[Col. Kurtz 0]

Ok EDC, picture Number.1 is a F-5E Tiger II Pic 2 is a B-1b Bomber.

Tovarish is the closest yet! Yes it is a Heinkel plane. Mostly used in the Estern and Mediteranian fronts, carried the Henschel Hs-239 'Glide Bomb', the first controled bomb to enter service.
