 			      by Glenn Price





Introduction

The B-21 is an unknown aircraft with technology outdating vacuum tubes. This
aircraft was discovered on a hillside. The canopy and instrument panel were
completely destroyed. The pilot and co-pilot were found dead. Also, huge 
rockets were found in the 2 bombays of this strange wing-shaped aircraft. 
Engineers from Northrop and Lockheed installed a new panel, along with a 
cockpit windscreen. This aircraft resembles a large Gotha flying wing, 
except it has large jet intake ducts on each side of the teardrop-shaped 
fuselage, with 2 engines in each duct. Another strange feature of this 
aircraft is its jagged shape, which is believed to dissipate radar signals.
Test flights indicate that the B-21 handles with the grace of a P-38 
Lightning, with speeds reaching 700+ MPH. This aircraft is also completely 
invisible to existing radar sets. The B-21 has been approved for day and 
night bombing, along with the role a fighter escort, although we believe 
that the original design of this aircraft called for the bombing role.

The B-21 has been modeled after the B-2 Stealth Bomber. However, this 
aircraft handles like a P-38, and it has 3 turrets: two top, and one ball 
turret. Each turret has twin 20mm cannons. A bomb load of 6 1600 lb or 6 
2000 lb bombs can be stored in the 2 bombays of the B-21. This, along with 
the standard armament of 2 20mm cannons and 2 50 cal. machine guns, proves
this aircraft a lethal ground attack machine. Also, this aircraft has been 
fitted with a Norden bombsight. However, the accuracy of this bombsight is
drastically reduced over speeds of 350 MPH. If you wish to level bomb, 
reduce speed to about 250 MPH. That speed should yield excellent accuracy.
