[Milsurplus] Name This Bomber

[Mike Hanz]

Can't be a PB4Y2 with that small cruise range, John.  Published specs 
were over ten times that figure.  Just to be sure, there are period 
photos of the exterior of the PB4Y2 at the bottom of my web page at 
http://aafradio.org/sidebar/PB4Y2_Line_Maintenance_Manual.html

Where is the aft ball turret?  Top or belly?  Ball turret in the nose 
sounds like a B-17G - its range is 2,000 miles, which would coincide 
with a typo on the photo.

Best,
Mike
