Our intrepid inventors manage to take to the skies as renowned mechanic Walter Christie develops an armored vehicle capable of taking it to the skies! Army Air Corps officials have noted an interest in integrating these armored machines with the XVIII Airborne Corps to give them a much needed boon in the firepower department.

Better to get it out ready while flying and not doing anything with the hand - maybe use it to cut the strings on your 'chute when you land - than to try and get it out when you're in rush because some arsehole is charging you.

Yeah, on close inspection the controls there look nasty - does appear to have pedals though.

Why the cold war bombers? (that are both still in service, and likely will be until the 50's)

>>51007098
> Why
Because I think the early-mid jet age blurs nicely into late dieselpunk. They used to start SR-71s with a couple of big-block V8s geared together on a cart, for fuck's sake.

Given how technology works, if the germans did indeed have all those wunderwaffen, they'd still lose the fucking war because for each super soldier piloting a supermech, the Americans will build 20 Shermans and send 3 platoons of infantry to battle, and the Russians will build 16 T-34s to battle and send 14 platoons of infantry to battle.

You can't fix a bunch of retarded Nazis doing retarded shit with technology. Well, maybe the new technology allows for Hitler's assassination to succeed, and the Wehrmacht killing off all the Nazis, surrendering to the Allies to form a strong front against Stalin.

That is the only way they could have won.

>>51008559
>How do we keep long hoods for longer in history?

As >>51008898 says, a long bonnet is due to a long straight engine. THOSE fell out of fashion as materials technology advanced.
The royale's straight-eight engine was vast. It had to be to haul that much weight around. But since metal casting improved so every cylinder didn't need it's own head, and fuel injection, and aluminium alloys... You can get the same horsepower out of a 500cc engine for a motorbike these days.

Now, the closest you'll get these days is the Morgan from >>51008801 with a big straight-6 in it, or one of the new Rolls Royces with the same big low-revving V12, but not so much out back as the Phantom to make the front end look shorter.
Really, you'd have to retard metallurgy, or have it fashionable to have REALLY big engines that are really really smooth due to lack of revs.
Or just stick aero-engines into cars. WW2 engines produced upwards of 3000 horsepower with 1940s tech, and they were huge.
