Warbird Information Exchange

Several years ago someone posted a link to photos of photoshopped multi-engine warbirds. I downloaded a four engined Mossie and made a t-shirt that's gotten some strange second looks. Seems like there were six engine 17's and Lancs and an eight engine B-29.
Anyone still have this link or know of it. Does the site even still exist?
thanks,
Doug Ratchford

I have always been rather fond of the "Rutan" B-17 concept that popped up in various places on the Internet a while back:

Hi Rajay, I like the double top turrets!

That part is not necessarily one that was photoshopped...



Boeing YB-40 variant was a "secret, experimental version of the Flying Fortress intended for a formation defence role."

An in an unrelated matter, I don't remember anyone discussing it before, but I think that you'd have to assume that the "Rutan" canard B-17 was no longer a taildragger. A nosewheel in conjunction with the original main gear under the inboard nacelles is the only thing that would make sense, don't you think?

I just wish somebody would build an RC model of that thing to see if it would really fly.
