B-24 with jet engine

[L. Thompson]

I am very much more a B-17 & B-29 guy when it comes to bombers, but in 45 years of reading I don't recall ever seeing this! I just stumbled upon it in ebay. A B-24 with a jet nozzle in the tail....

Maybe its an age/memory thing.

For a second I thought Gary had got ahold of Ol 927 again.

So is that the ex-Lackland AFB B-24M that is now in the American Air Musem at Duxford, painted as "Dugan"?

Imagine being the pilot of an FW-190 or Me-109 flying up behind THAT! "Himmel! AAAAAGGGGHHHH!!!! Break AVAY!!!" and proceeding to roll the wings off the plane trying to get away from the B.F. Gun...

looks more like a poop shoot!! i can't even imagine the noise, vibration & weight!!

Looks like that aircraft must have been around a while, as the E-bay photo shows it in late war markings, and the photo Dan K found it has USAF markings.

Okay...now that's just wierd.

I think this is what happens when you have surplus aircraft all over the place, and a bunch of engineers going 'what can I do with that?'

I kind of like this one, it makes the B-24 more palettable........
