No B-24 Liberators? No Lancasters? But you had 2 Italian no-nothing bombers? Get outta here...

[@JoshuaHistoryBuff]

My thoughts exactly. Show the Liberator some respect! It is THE most produced heavy bomber OF ALL TIME!

[@johnforsyth7987]

No Lancaster on the list. The B-24 was the most produced bomber of WWII.

[@johnawalker9261]

Lancaster.???? Carried the heaviest bomb load in the WWII.

[@b2tall239]

No Lancaster?
The bomb loads listed were rarely carried in combat. The listed loads were for short range and optimal conditions. Typical combat loads were usually half (or less) of the maximum load.

[@mrjockt]

Missed out the Lancaster but included the Lincoln, which didn't enter service until after W.W.II was over, also why list the maximum bomb load the B-17 could carry when fitted with external bomb racks yet only mention the standard bomb load for a Lincoln when it could in fact carry a 22,000lb bomb.

Love the Lancaster airplane ✈️

[@user-tb8bq1vv4f]

Ну вот опять, а где советский Пе-8(ТБ-7) нормальная бомбовая нагрузка 5 тонн, или допустим Ту-2(в перегрузе 3 тонны бомб)?

[@palious13]

No PE-8? Length: 23.2 m (76 ft 1 in)
Wingspan: 39.13 m (128 ft 5 in)Empty weight: 18,571 kg (40,942 lb) Soviet bomber introduced 1936

[@laienke7046]

oops! I think your slip is showing. The adds which proceeded this are also questionable.

[@ScottTo1967]

Didn’t think the Lincoln was even operational inWW2

[@bremnersghost948]

Good to see the Lincoln get a high ranking, Excellent aircraft that gets overshadowed by the Lancaster.

[@scottdakadescot4127]

@The Buzz, this list is very confusing because you're just throwing bombers in that aren't even that heavy or don't have that big of a wingspan.

[@ronmoore6598]

No B-24? How did they miss that one?

[@hardknuckle8143]

better research please - as indicated - where is the Lancaster

[@PotatoSalad614]

No Lancaster?
L video

[@jagcop8357]

How could the Vickers Warwick as a smaller and lighter aircraft like the He177 on 9th place, same with the Sm 82 ??? Avro Lincoln and the B32 are after the war. No B24 Liberator, no Avro Lancaster..., so this video is the greatest bullshit since the 2nd WW. Hope you agreed your own worse job...

[@chlebowg]

B-32s were operational in the Pacific over Japan before the end of the war although limited.
