Re: B-24 with Gun Turrets, Fire Controllsystem etc. from B-29

It is my opinion that these types of gunnery installations were test beds, prior to actually fitting them to the B-29s. The AN/APQ-7 Radar was installed on severals B-24s and at least one B-17 for testing prior to being installed on the B-29B model.
