Chapter 378: JU-290 bomber

In this era, the journey from Europe to the Americas will no longer be so lonely and long, because Hughes Aircraft Company has developed a large passenger plane, Atlantic One, which is sufficient for intercontinental flights. !
Now, routes in Europe and the Americas are monopolized by the airlines affiliated to Hughes Company. Traveling on this kind of plane has become a must for businessmen who pursue timeliness, and couples on honeymoon.
This kind of plane is quite luxurious and expensive. Traveling on a passenger plane is quite beautiful, but flying at an altitude of 10,000 meters!
And now, what appeared overhead was that kind of airplane.
Jack raised his head and saw the plane flying in the distance. Using the eyes of his own pilot, he recognized it almost instantly.
With a long fuselage, wide wings, and four engines half buried in the wings, this aircraft is the Atlantic No. 1 airliner that has been very popular in recent years!
Over their heads, there is an international route, and they often look up at this airliner, envious of the five-body landing.
In this era, the swordfish attack aircraft is still an old-fashioned open-cockpit aircraft, and this passenger aircraft is already a fully enclosed pressurized cockpit, capable of flying above 10,000 meters!
The technology of this aircraft is really too advanced!
In the army, they often discuss that their own aircraft can never catch up with this kind of passenger aircraft, and even the anti-aircraft artillery is not effective against this kind of aircraft.
The reason is too simple. People fly high and the cruising altitude is over 10,000 meters.
Although theoretically speaking, a 100mm anti-aircraft artillery can hit an altitude of 10,000 meters, but at that height, the artillery shells are not accurate at all. In fact, the current anti-aircraft artillery can hit five kilometers. The above heights are inadequate, and the commanders' abilities are also very demanding.
Therefore, if this passenger plane is converted into a bomber, it will be a nightmare for the opponent.
Fortunately, the Hughes company is fully committed to producing passenger planes. So far, it seems that there are no bombers in this kind of plane.
At this moment, his eyelids suddenly jumped twice. He raised his head and stared at the distant sky. There was something wrong, absolutely something wrong.
This kind of passenger plane is quite expensive and there are not many people that can take it. Therefore, there is only one flight a day, but now? In the distant sky, another one flew!
Two passenger planes on the same route? This is really unusual!
Then, when he saw the third same passenger plane flying along the route, he had already lifted his heart to his throat, no, there was definitely a problem!
These are definitely not passenger planes!
Of course, it was not a passenger plane, but a Junkers JU-290 bomber!
Speaking of World War II, there is a puzzling place. The German Stuka, who specializes in dive bombing, is quite proficient, but the Germans are seriously lacking in strategic bombers.
Speaking of large-scale bombers, it is easy to remind people of the United States. The B-29 is simply a powerful bomber accumulated by the extraterrestrial technology of that era. It is the only aircraft for dropping atomic bombs.
However, it is rarely heard from Germany.
Of course, this is related to many factors. For example, Hitler cares about dive bombing so much that it is impossible to make large bombers have dive bombing capabilities. Many projects have fallen on this target.
For example, Germany is not necessary, their target is Europe, tactical bombers are enough.
Of course, in the latter part of World War II, Germany actually developed some heavy bombers. For example, Henschel’s He177, which was the only heavy bomber produced in mass production in Germany during World War II, actually met the demand for dive bombing. , Poor performance.
For example, the Messerschmitt Me264 is the only aircraft that can fly to the east coast of the United States for bombing, but unfortunately it has not been completed.
Another example is Junkers' JU-290 bomber.
Historically, Junkers also had the JU-290 project. This was a large four-engine aircraft developed by the Ju90 aircraft. Although it was called a bomber, it was often used for reconnaissance missions and transportation missions because of its superior range. , Many times are used to open up long-range routes.
However, the current Junkers JU-290 bomber has nothing to do with history. This bomber is the military version of the Atlantic Airliner!
At the beginning, the Atlantic One was jointly developed by Junkers and Seuss. After that, the two companies produced it separately, and Junkers produced it mainly for military use.
Except for the passenger plane version, more are bombers! For the sake of confidentiality, many times, such bombers are used for flight training at Libyan bases. When they fly over, they just transport supplies, and during training, they can also use new ammunition developed by Libya bases!
From a passenger plane to a bomber, there are many changes. A turret for self-defense has been added, a navigator’s cabin has been added in the front, and the internal crew cabin has been changed to a bomb bay.
However, from the ground, only a shadow can be seen, and no one can see the specific structure clearly.
And now, these bombers flying in ~EbookFREE.me~ belong to the 100th Aviation Bombing Regiment of the German Air Force. They just stand in the front, and there are eight more in the back!
Ten large JU-290 bombers, posing as civil airliners, flew on civil aviation routes, and most of the routes were at sea, and they flew in the early morning.
Therefore, no one was aware of the clues until now.
On the first bomber, bomber Ludwig fixed his eyes tightly over the target.
Bombers, bombing at high altitude, have many problems. For example, because of the impact of air currents, the trajectory of the bomb's descent is definitely not a complete parabola.
Therefore, the high-altitude bombing is more of a carpet type, looking almost away from the target, and throwing all the bombs overwhelmingly, without being particularly precise, the coverings are all finished.
But now, their target is the warship in Scarpa Bay!
Only dive bombing can have enough accuracy to hit a target such as a warship. High-altitude bombing is absolutely impossible!
If in the past, of course it would not work, but now, their bomber carries a special bomb!
Holding his breath, Ludwig shouted loudly: "Drop a bomb!"
