E-7? terrain color?

Drop tanks were used in the Spanish civil war by the condor legion and they worked out quite well.

Sorry? All that you can see with drop tanks, maybe, are post war 109 "nacionalistas". But for sure drop tanks never were used in SCW. Im spaniard and have quite near this thread. Only two
German aircraft in Spain used drop tanks, the Heinkel 51 and the Henschel
123. Anyway ill check my files again

The e-4 even had a center line bomb rack release fitted in the middle of BOB

As you "know", nothing to do with fuel rack system. Those are different systems.

I have also studied the system used by the german's for their drop tanks. It is quite simple efficient and ingenious.

So, you know what modifications were need to use it?
The factory simply ran a fuel pipe thru the cockpit floor, coming up on the right side corner, behind the seat. The pipe ran along under the edge of the canopy to a auxiliary fuel contents indicator, then thru the
instrument panel and firewall to the engine. Normal procedure was to start the engine with the fuel coming from the drop tank, then as the fuel
got low, to switch to the main tank, and jetison the drop tank.

Dont take it personal Stalker, im learnig, hope youll doing too.
