Question

Narrator said that German WW2 bombers carried 2 tons of bombs? I know that a B17 could carry 2 tons of bombs but I don't think any WW2 German bomber carried 2 tons; they were all twin engine except the Condor which was a maritime reconnaissance plane with 4 engines, any body know for sure? He was talking about the Dornier 17 And HE 111.

Answer 1

In Google enter the name of the manufacturer followed by the model designation and then the word "specifications."



Works for any aircraft.

Answer 2

2 tons is only 4000 lbs 4 to 8 bombs

Answer 3

I believe a B-17 could carry 3 tons.

48 × 50 kg (110 lb) bombs (2,400 kg/5,291 lb total)

1 × 2,500 kg (5,511 lb) bomb (2,500 kg/5,511 lb total)

6 × 500 kg (1,102 lb) bombs (3,000 kg/6,613 lb total)

2 × 1,800 kg (3,968 lb) bombs (3,600 kg/7,936 lb total)

2 × 1,800 kg (3,968 lb) bombs + 2 × LMA III mines (4,600 kg/10,141 lb total)

10 × 500 kg (1,102 lb) bombs (5,000 kg/11,023 lb total)

2 × 1,000 kg (2,204 lb) bombs + 2 × 1,800 kg (3,968 lb) bombs (5,600 kg/12,345 lb total)

6 × 1,000 kg (2,204 lb) bombs (6,000 kg/13,227 lb total)

2 × FX 1400 Fritz X + 1 × FX 1400 Fritz X under the wings and fuselage
