Would anyone have any dimensioned drawings of the retractable turrets on the B-36? I've been through all the published material on the B-36 I can find, and there are plenty of pictures of the turrets, but no dimensions. I'm also interested in the side profile of the elevating mount for the two 20mm's.


Many thanks

Hello Joe;

I know this is a very old post, but I only joined the forum today. I have struggled in vain to obtain some real information on the structuralmake-up of the B-36 (I have acquired half a dozen books on it and searched online, etc to no avail).
However, in my searches I did find a very detailed drawing of the B-36 from a truly unexpected source: a Russian aviation magazine famous for publishing some of the best drawings to appear in print.
I could make a pdf copy of said magazine available to you if you have a way to receive it. It is a relatively large file

Just let me know
Max
