Its also near the front of the book i have always on standby,
B for Blosh

Nuclear weapon? if so something from the pacific theatre

what book is that i need a few aircraft books

its a plane not a weapon but the pacific is along the right lines

I use a mixture of Janes, Obserber book of aircraft, pictorial history of aircraft warfare, and then some big ones whos names escape me

i was thinking that the damage could have be caused by the nuclear weapon,
if not how about kamakazi

Process of elimination...

Its gear is down and seems to imply that the plane either made a succesful crash landing OR it was stationary and was hit by a bomb or ground fire etc.

The landing gear also comes "out" rather than "in" which narrows it down further....

at a second glace i also struggle to notice any gun ports on the wing.....



hmmm

what you mean by that?

oh and "Aircraft of the Worlds Airforces" list by country/operator

no guns in the wings . only a hole for the landing lights.
still there. maybe japanese?
