Re: Lockheed Ventura Mk I and Mk II differences

Larry

Checking my books I think the main difference were the engines

Mk I 2 x 1850hp P&W Double Wasp S1A4-G
Mk II 2 x 2000hp P&W R-2800-31

The Mk II also had a redesigned bomb bay to carry a heavier bomb load.

The Mk IIA featured a Martin turret
Never heard of any "Mk IIB" so whatever modifications were made post delivery probably never really made it into its Mk designation.

Cheers
Stig
