Ossington 2 Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 I found this image in a library book today. https://imgur.com/V0e3RhH 91st BG Osnabruck, 1943 as it happens. I have never noticed those (white?) lines before. How common was this? Do they appear on B-24s? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Interesting. I'm not aware of seeing them before either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colin Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Interesting as the tailplane ones seem to match up with the waist guns about center on their mounts but the wing lines seem way out when you draw a line down them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ossington 2 Posted December 14, 2019 Author Share Posted December 14, 2019 Phew! I thought I'd made a FU when the image didn't come up directly. I used to be able to do this. What happened? At least it must be visible to be commented upon. Maybe these lines were a trial limited to just a few squadrons and abandoned promptly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Russell Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 It looks like extending any of these lines ends up at the waist position so I think the contention they are to do with gunnery is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been using Imgur also, and still seem to have to fumble around with the link- sometimes the BM program just interprets it and shows the image, sometimes all I get is a link, and I can't figure out what makes the difference. I haven't posted all that many photos since the Photobucket debacle, partly because of the hassle of doing so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use Imgur, just click on direct link in Imgur, when adding to Britmodeller click on insert image from URL and double click to paste and it does the rest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
