Last time...I brought you tanks with torpedoes. This time...THIS tank actually has a gun!

What size is the gun on this tank?

I don't know its size, but I bet the gun was air cooled.

Too fast! 37mm was all I could come up with also.

Personally, I can't get over the fact that it has WINGS!

Can you imagine how much convincing you would need to do to the crew to get in a try it out?

Couldn't have been any worse than standing on a DZ at Ft. Bragg watching Sheridans rain from the sky. Sheridans were actually good for something...making impressive craters.

Good site for both air delivery and other nations' concept of "flying tanks"..

Hi all,

I always thought that Russians were the only ones with such "brilliant" plans...

The point of dropping this tank would be to distract the enemy soldiers... Just imagine...
Somewhere in the trenches:
-Hey Bob do you see what I see?
-Nah Timmy, what do you see?
-I tawt I taw a flying tank...
-You did, you did taw a flying tank....
In the mean time a whole division of enemy forces runs freely towards defenses... screamin and shouting.... but you know... there are some moments in life that you just can't believe that something actually happened...
