Re: Bombers on the Wing
Aah a nightfighter thread...my favourite beast. Maybe I'll see what I can find. I know of some that may surprise a few. Anyway, here's a B-29 'office'.

I didn't notice the guys on the wings! I thought they were just jumping off from the gunner's position.

Re: Bombers on the Wing
It's actually my understanding that the Soviets pioneered the concept of paratroops...their aircraft were specially built with grab-handles on the wings so that all the troops could drop at roughly the same time to void spread on the ground.
