		A medium bomber is a bomber aircraft designed to operate with medium bombloads over medium distances; primarily to distinguish them from the much larger heavy bombers and smaller light bombers.
		The medium bomber was generally considered to be any design that delivered about 4,000 lb (1.8 t) over ranges of about 1,500 to 2,000 miles (2,400 to 3,200 km).
		Heavy bombers were those with a nominal load of 8,000 lb (3.6 t) or more, and light bombers carried 2,000 lb (0.9 t) loads.

	World War 2 Bombers
		Bombers were the ultimate long range heavy weapons of World War 2, a role they still have.
		Bombers also provided a modern mean to utilize a national industrial and technological advantage to balance the enemy's numerical advantage.
		Far more than tanks and warships, bombers provided the best mean to concentrate great firepower in the hands of a small number of warriors, allowing a nation to rely more on its industry and less on millions of soldiers, and therefore pay the price of war with more money and less blood.

	Boeing XB-59
		The new bomber should have a combat radius of 2500 miles, a cruising speed of at least 500 mph, and a gross weight of 170,000 pounds.
		It had to be capable of operating in all weather conditions, and had to be able to achieve a combat radius of 5000 miles with a single outbound inflight refuelling.
		The small bomber concept was endorsed by the Air Force Council and by General Hoyt S. Vandenberg, who was Chief of Staff of the Air Force.

	Heinkel III Bomber
		German twin engined bomber the Heinkel III of the Luftwaffe shown in aviation art prints of the Heinkel III during the Battle of Britain by leading aviation artists Ivan Berryman and Anthony Saunders published by Cranston Fine Arts.
		The German medium bomber the Heinkel HE 111 was the primary medium bomber of the Luftwaffe during the opening years of World war two.
		It is August, and the height of the Battle of Britain: Heinkel 111 bombers have attacked airfields and radar stations along the south coast, and a frantic dog-fight has developed as Me109s of JG-52 clash with Hurricanes of the RAFs No. 32 Squadron.

	H-6 Bomber - SinoDefence.com
		In order to perform such a mission, the bomber must be able to penetrate the enemy air defence composed of fighter aircraft and surface-to-air missiles.
		On later variants such as H, K, and M models, the weapons (missiles) are carried on the under-wing pylons and the internal weapon may have been replaced by a internal fuel tank to increase its range.
		The bomber (PLAAF serial 50671) was fitted with an air-conditioned weapon bay and special bomb mountings to carry a nuclear bomb.

	Japanese Mitsubishi G4M Betty Medium Bomber
		The G4M Medium Bomber (code named Betty by allied forces) was designed in 1939 for the Imperial Navy and went into production in 1941.
		Over 2,400 G4M1 through G4M3 Medium Bombers were produced during the war.
		The Betty bomber's main failing were the lack of pilot armor and the wing mounted fuel tanks were not self sealing therefore very venerable to destruction.

	Bomber Summary
		Strategic bombers are primarily designed for long-range strike missions against strategic targets such as supply bases, bridges, factories, and shipyards in order to damage an enemy's war effort.
		The development of large strategic bombers stagnated in the later part of the Cold War because of spiraling costs and the advent of the intercontinental ballistic missile, which was felt to have equal deterrent value while being much more difficult to intercept.
		Perhaps the one meaningful distinction at present is the question of range: a bomber is generally a long-range aircraft capable of striking targets deep within enemy territory, whereas fighter bombers and attack aircraft are limited to 'theater' missions in and around the immediate area of battlefield combat.

	Aircraft production - Part 4
		Although there was close parity in the number of fighters and bombers built, by far the larger share of resources was devoted to bombers on account of their greater size and complexity.
		Although Britain produced significant numbers of light and medium bombers in the first couple of years of the war, their use declined thereafter, partly because of growing use of fighter-bombers and partly because and most of the light and medium bombers that were used in the second half of the war were American in origin.
		Overall the number of fighters exceeded that of bombers because in the second half of the war the country was forced on the defensive and build growing nmumbers of fighters for defensive purposes.

	Shrike medium bomber
		The fictional TB-81 Shrike medium torpedo bomber is a general-purpose strike fighter deployed by the Confederation in the Wing Commander computer game.
		It was designed as a strike fighter/torpedo bomber that could be fielded in numbers, as opposed to the more capable and expensive Devastator heavy bomber.
		From all appearances, it seemed that Confed planned to replace the Kilrathi war-era Thunderbolt heavy fighter with the Shrike.

		The bomber was, according to the author, the most versatile aircraft of the war.
		The transition of the NA40 bomber design from the drafting board to legendary B-25 war machine is told through a study of research, development, wartime service, and follow-on technical modifications.
		As the history of the bomber unfolds, it is immediately apparent that the major strength of the design was its versatility, which was further enhanced by its ready adaptability to any aerial mission found in each theater of operations-from close air support to transport to strategic bombardment.

	P-38 Lightning Strategy
		When escorting heavy bombers, a slow weave pattern must be used above the bombers.
		If the P-38s escort medium bombers, the weave pattern is not necessary due to the higher speeds of the bombers.
		When the P-38 formation encounters enemy bombers with fighter cover, two flights should break away to the left to circle back for another attack.

	Historic Marauder Firsts, by Jack Havener.
		It was the first army bomber to use torpedoes against a Japanese fleet in the South Pacific: in early June 1942 at the Battle of Midway.
		A few days later it was the first army bomber to launch torpedoes against a Japanese task force in the Aleutians which was trying to maintain a foothold on the islands of Attu and Kiska.
		The B-26 was the first medium bomber modified for tow target use in aerial gunnery training became, in a stripped down configuration, it had pursuit plane speed.

	The Boeing B
		Two designs were conventional bombers in the mold of the B-29, while the more radical designs were the Northrop flying wing and the Boeing swept wing jet.
		By early 1956 a total of 22 medium bombing wings had received the B-47 while another 5 wings were undergoing conversion to the B-47.
		In summary, the B-47 was a technological innovation in bomber aircraft design with swept wings, jet engines, the ability to be air refueled, and an operational envelope equal to the fighter aircraft of the early 1950's.

		In the initial phase of the war in particular it bore the main burden of night attacks, but due to mounting losses, it was then superseded by the more powerful 4 engined bombers from October 1943 onwards.
		The main production model made for RAF Bomber Command was the Mk X version, of which 3,804 examples were built.
