@Badseed131313 there still the same aircraft,although the US lengthend them for testing and increased the wingspan and different engine's.Gotta say it was ideal for valley bombing.

@1bearcatf8f The Martin Canberra B57 is a little different than the English Electric original. That one has a tandem cockpit instead of side-by-side and a unique rotary bomb bay. Used extensively in Vietnam by USAF and VNAF.

@horacionav the B-57 is a good light attack bomber.I think it's a pretty nice plane

This bomber was suited for veitnam,Tight spot bombing and good for CAS bombing.
theres three cordite charges inside the nose cone, one is fired, the exhaust goes through a small turbine and gearbox thats coupled on to the front of the avon compressor. theres a clutch that disengages when the starter shaft slows down.
theres three charges because it dosent always start on the first attempt
