There are 4 engines on it, it is just a really low quality pic, and they are very close to the fuselage Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tex -USMC- 0 Posted November 5, 2002 Stupid me- I forgot the Lancaster didn't have tricycle landing gear. Consider me abashed.

Col. Kurtz 0 Posted November 5, 2002 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.

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.

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.
