Flying tight formation over Sardinia, August 1944,320th BG

Flying tight formation

B-26 Marauder from 320th BG.Here you can see that the front wheel has two wheel-well covers.The B-25 has only one.Also notice that the prop blades are not vertical.This was intentional.Because of the very large prop blades,if the ship developed a flat,the blade would hit the ground if in the vertical position.Another feature to keep the B-26 and the B-25 apart is the tail.Greetz,Brummbar
