Fast bomber

Fast bomber

• Soviet union:

Tupolev SB , (ANT-40, ‘Katyusha’ introduced 1934, speed 280mph (450kph): Successful in the Spanish Civil War because it outpaced most Fighter aircraft (Flight ref was presumably ‘more than a match for Nationalist fighters’)

• Britain:

Bristol Blenheim int 1935, speed 266mph (428kph): .The Mk I was faster than most fighters in the late 1930s.

De Havilland Mosquito int 1940 speed 415mph (668kph) : .In 1941, it was one of the fastest operational aircraft in the world.(ref

Originally conceived as an unarmed fast bomber.

1. Air Ministry bomber requirements and concepts===

.. specification P13/36 (1936) for fast bomber… (compare 1937 HP proposal) The idea of a small, fast bomber gained support at a much earlier stage than is s’times acknowledged,(ref

1. Inception===

The new design would be faster than foreseeable enemy [[fighter aircraft, and could dispense with a defensive armament, which would slow it and make interception or losses to antiaircraft guns more likely. Instead, high speed and good manoeuvrability would make evading fighters and ground fire easier.(ref

• Germany: Junkers Ju 88, int 1936, speed 290mph (470kph)

.designed...as a so-called Schnellbomber ("fast bomber") that would be too fast for fighters of its era to intercept.. .and ...Dornier Do 17, int. 1934 speed 220mph, (350kph) .designed as a [[Schnellbomber ("fast bomber"), a light bomber which, in theory, would be so fast that it could outrun defending fighter aircraft.

• Italy : Savoia-Marchetti SM.79 ‘Sparviero’ int 1934, speed 290mph (450kph)

..(designed as) a swift eight-passenger transport aircraft, capable of besting even the fastest of its contemporaries (but taken up bty govt as a bomber) .established 26 separate world records between 1937 and 1939, qualifying it for some time as the fastest medium bomber in the world.(ref .(in the Spanish Civil war) it normally operated without fighter escort, relying on its relatively high speed to evade interception.

...CANT Z.1007 ‘Alcione’ int. 1937 speed 285mph (458kph) . Not ‘fast bomber’, described as medium bomber only. But speed is comparable

• France : Bloch MB.170, int 1940, speed 330mph (530kph)

….with speed, altitude and manoeuvrability that allowed them to evade interception by (enemy fighters)

• Japan : Kawasaki Ki-48 int. 1940, speed 314mph (505kph)

.order to develop a "high-speed bomber" capable of 300mph/480kph...It was inspired by the Soviet Tupolev SB .

• Also

Caproni Ca.310 (1937, 227mph/365kph

Technical problems

• [[Wikipedia:Help desk #I have a problem with my sandbox (23-24 January 2021 )

I don’t know if this is the right place to post this question: I have just placed a new section in my sandbox, but when it was saved the section did not appear with an edit function; I have checked the script but cannot see what is wrong with it (this happened once before, but the fault was a misplaced piece of a table; I can’t see that this time) Can anyone say/tell me what is wrong?

• Useful tips

.I catch such things by a binary search. I first copied the article to my sandbox, then began removing large chunks of it. When one removal fixed the problem, I re-instated half of it to see which half caused the problem, and continued in this manner. Brute force sometimes beats careful analysis. -[[User:Arch dude

Note that if you enable syntax highlighting (pencil-like button to the left of the word "Advanced" above the edit box in the source editor), such problems are much easier to detect. The <ref part comes out in green and is hence pretty obvious. I saw 2 of them in the diff you linked to. [[User:Michael D. Turnbull|Mike Turnbull
