Subject: RE: Hiroshima


Near-north Ontario, French River
an interesting bit of odd ball trivia. At one point it was British Lancasters that were intended to drop the A bombs. The Brits had even developed an inflight refueling procedure to make up for the Lancs lack of range. B29s at that time need serious structural modifications to even be able to carry either bomb.. the Lancs had ample space and required essentially no mods to make it work. In the end politics came into play, the the b29s were modded just in time.. and the plan to use Lancs faded into history.
