Was it not a FW200 Condor that was shot down by a B24? I seem to remember an "IL2" mission wereby you could replicate the scenario?  The only real plane I have ever flown in.(Pah! Booked for Florida next year. So this will change.)

That's the one. I wonder who decided to attack who in this scenario. Sorry I didn't make it clearer, coturnix, but I was pretty sure that a six-engine flying boat will be "bigger" than any other possible answer, by any definition.

Thanks W_U_D, not privy to the particulars on that one. Ok, this guy isn't having a case of nerves and throwing-up, he is a ventral gunner, in what aircraft?  |

|
|
In a B-25B?

No sorry, I can see your reasoning but not a B-25.

Looks American. B-18.  Jungmann "Oh, the monkeys have no tails in Zamboanga..." |

Not a B-18 or a Halifax sorry. This bird is German.

Nothing unusual, very common particularly during the early years of the war.

He-111?

Nope, that probably leaves one in contention by my reckoning.
|
| |
|
|
|
In that case, I'll take "What is a Ju 88?' for a dollar, Alex.
|
| |
|
|
We don't have a winner sorry, the Ju-88 was produced in far larger numbers and a lot further into the war than the aircraft I'm after.

A-20?

It might be the ventral turret of a Ju86 before it is lowered.
|

|

Sorry Sillius and Robtek but Jure has it  It's a Dornier Do-17. Pretty cramped in there, the gunner would have to get out of the way on a bomb run as folded up to his left is the bomb aimers seat. |

Thanks Dance Ok, a quickie, ID the aircraft: 
|
| |
|
|
Is it a Mitsubishi G3M2?
|

+1 Ah a plane dearly missed in IL2!
