A 1945 Army Air Corps request for a dedicated dive bomber was what caused this thing. Although the end of WW2 ended the program, it’s legacy lives on in more modern flying wings. Why the heck somebody thought it was a good idea to call what really should be a fast bomber a dive bomber, no ones really knows. It entered limited production with the third world contries for a few years after the war, but it never really took off. Unless it was on the runway. Than it would take off. Seen here is the prototype the British Navy ordered for carrier operations. It was found unsuitable for that type of operations, as 5 of the 6 prototypes crashed during landing deck trials. The remaining airframe is in private hands and has not been seen for nearly 25 years. Out of the sad story now, and on to the controls! Hopefully if you have played this game for awhile you should now how to fly an aeroplane. The controls are normal. Special controls: AG.1 for the bomb bay, AG.2 roll and pitch for turret controls AG.3 and VTOL up for folding wings. It destroys most targets in a spectacular carpet bombing run. If bombs don’t finish it, you have two 57mm cannons and four 20mm cannons, along with two .50 caliber machine guns in the rear turret. Safe Flying - TAS

    Note! Please open the bomb bay doors before you launch the bombs. I don’t really think I need to say that, should be pretty self explantory, but ya’ll know people nowadays.
