@zxb07487268 @CcibChris Amazing. Note B-24 had MUCH smaller wings but carried more bombs. B-17: Wing area: 1,420 sq ft (131.92 m2) Number built: 12,731 B-24: Wing area: 1,048 sq ft (97.4 m2) Number built: 18,188 And yet wiki says: B-17 dropped more bombs than any other aircraft during World War II.
