John D. Voss , CA | As a point of interest the US Navy was considering the Vengeance for carrier use. The proposal was terminated before any aircraft were delivered or evaluated. It was to have been known as the TBV-1. 03/30/2006 @ 15:53 [ref: 12983] |
Dan , WI | FYI, the standard armament of the A-31 was as follows:
Four 7.62mm (.30 cal) MG in wings
Twin 7.62mm (.30 cal) MG in flexible mount in rear cockpit
1,000 lbs. of bombs in main bay
500 lbs. of bombs in underwing racks
