When I came, I just said I was here for training. If you come here to receive training in later generations, you will have to spend money. The condition they negotiated was of course free training, but there was nothing to say about the uniforms of these pilots. Of course, the people brought by Qin Baoshan did not have the conditions to wear this kind of leather jacket. In the Eighth Route Army, except for the precious leather jacket owned by the brigade commander, almost no one else had it. The American pilot's leather jacket is so enviable. Qin Baoshan also wanted one piece, and he also wanted one piece for everyone he brought.
For the Eighth Route Army, this will cost huge sums of money. After all, in the area controlled by the Eighth Route Army, even if there is cowhide or sheepskin, no one can make leather jackets, only the simplest suede coats. That thing is too bulky to wear.
In the United States during World War II, the leather jackets of American pilots were very famous. Later, military enthusiasts are proud to collect a leather jacket. After finishing speaking, Qin Baoshan thought of something, and continued: "I don't want the B-3 leather jacket worn by bomber pilots, but the G-1 leather jacket worn by fighter pilots."
The b-3 leather jacket is called the "bomber jacket" by default, because bomber pilots often fly at high altitudes, and the high altitudes are very cold, so this b-3 leather jacket is made of thick wool and sheep leather to keep out the cold The ability is quite strong, but it is very bloated. Qin Baoshan prefers the leather jacket of a fighter jet, whether it is a-2 or g-1. Li Yunlong showed off. Everyone who comes here has a share, one for each person.
And the sunglasses, this kind of Ray-Ban sunglasses, are also used to pretend to be cool. In the original time and space, Qin Baoshan only looked at the greedy eyes. Now that he is here, of course it will be an addiction, and it is not in vain. I went here once.
Qin Baoshan not only wants things, but also chooses the types. Hearing what Qin Baoshan said, Major Kromlin frowned and made up his mind. I applied for it. But you can¡¯t tell about it. If the Jinsui Army and the Central Army want to get it, they must spend money to buy it.¡±
"Of course, how can we talk nonsense." Qin Baoshan said, with a smile on his face. The people he brought were just wearing brand-new Eighth Route Army uniforms, which was not appropriate at all. After all, wearing a military uniform on the body can show the temperament and demeanor of a soldier, but there is a group of Eighth Route Army in the American base, so there is no guarantee that no secret will be revealed. The Central Army and the Jinsui Army don't matter, anyway, the little devil knows that the United States has a good relationship with them, but if the Eighth Route Army appears here, if the little devil knows, then the little devil may suspect that in the Eighth Route Army's control area There is an American aviation base inside. So Qin Baoshan was not only asking for some clothes for his subordinates, but also for continuing to provide cover for Li Yunlong. It is to protect the important Licheng base, and it is also for the Americans. Thinking of this, Qin Baoshan has no embarrassment at all.
This trivial matter is considered a decision, and it can also be used as a kind of compensation for the Americans to the Eighth Route Army's low-bombers. Anyway, for the Americans, they have now entered a wartime system, and their military industry system is very developed, and the production of these equipment is pediatrics. Major Cromlin is now again the Redskin of the USAAF, and he has flown several missions. He was basically involved in the bombing of the Japanese mainland, and the most recent bombing of the Japanese battleship Musashi.
For such a celebrity, it is not easy to get a batch of personal equipment. The officer in charge of military supplies will definitely give him this face. Qin Baoshan finished a small matter and continued to look at the plane.
Although this aircraft is a heavy bomber like the b-17 bomber, the design ideas of the two aircraft are very different. The appearance is different now. This bomber looks very strong, and the whole aircraft looks like a huge warship. The fuselage of this bomber is designed to be very large. It is obviously different from the slender b-17.
This design is beneficial. For example, because of the large fuselage, it is possible to design a bomb bay inside the fuselage to mount a 3.6-ton bomb. However, this bomb bay is not connected front and rear. The beam of the wing passes through the bomb bay, dividing it into two parts, front and rear. The front bomb bay can also be used to install additional fuel tanks to increase range if needed. Therefore, the maximum range of this bomber far exceeds that of the b-25 bomber. It will be more comfortable to use this bomber to perform flight missions. But it also means that it is more complicated to operate, after all, this is a heavy bomber.
Qin Baoshan has never thought of using this kind of bomber. If the Americans provide him with a few b-29s, Qin Baoshan will definitely accept it, but thisIt's just a dream, even the Soviets don't want to come to the b-29 bomber, which is a real strategic bomber.
The tail design of this bomber is also very interesting. It adopts h-shaped double vertical tails and a circular arc design. This can significantly reduce the vertical height of the vertical tail. After all, this aircraft was originally developed for the Navy.
Major Kromlin walked to the bottom of the cabin and said to Qin Baoshan: "Just like our b-25 bomber, you need to climb in from here."
Qin Baoshan climbed into the bomber along the ladder. Although the appearance looks very stout, the internal space of this bomber is not so wide, especially in the positions of the captain and the co-pilot, the windows are narrow, and the view is not even as wide as that of the b-25. But if it is backwards, there is a hatch in front of the machine gun turret on the back of the machine, which can expose half of the body like driving a tank, so that the field of vision will be wider.
As a heavy bomber, this plane has ten m2 machine guns, and its self-defense firepower is greatly enhanced.
When Qin Baoshan stood here, looking at the outline of the whole plane, he knew clearly in his heart that although this bomber looked tall and mighty, it still had many shortcomings. When the aircraft was first designed, armor protection and self-closing fuel tanks were not considered, so the initial battle damage rate was very high. The biggest problem with this aircraft is the door to the bomb bay. It is not a conventional split hatch structure, but is covered with thin aluminum sheets. When it is opened, it is like pulling a curtain, directly pulling these aluminum sheets apart. Therefore, the mechanical strength is low. When this kind of aircraft is forced to land, if the landing gear cannot be opened and the belly is used to land, it will definitely be a disaster. If it is necessary to drop to the sea, the hatch will be filled with water directly, causing the plane to sink quickly. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
