French Flying 75mm

[Adriano Baumgartner]

Felix,

Not at all, your memory is perfect...it is said down here that:

Initially the AB-20 was intended to have three engines like its predecessor, but during the design phase there was a military request for a bombardier's position and a gunner's cockpit in the nose, which required the removal of the centre engine and its replacement by two extra engines wing-mounted outboard of the centre section.

It was a huge monster...and weird design....
