Glad that you enjoyed it, thanks.

I learned more than a few thing that I didn't know, like the pop-up turrets!

Really scary looking it those Bomb Bays, and the results of the bombing run!

Reminds me of the remains of my Birthplace, the City of London, England, during the Blitz, and its destruction during the war....

I remember it well!

..one of the reasons why I don't fly Military Aircraft in my civilian Flight Sims!

The plan was to use nuclear power for aircraft propulsion. The USAF eventually realized that this was a terrible idea.
