Oh NOOOOOoooooooooooooooo! This is one of those cartoon designs that makes
it into the real world. It looks like it could be supersonic. A slick
looking plane.

A photograph similar to this was put on the front page of the Singapore
Times in November 1969 during the "Confrontation" with Indonesia ( the
difference was that there were 75 bombs on instantaneous release and each
was 1,000lbs).

The accompanying text pointed out that each bomb could be dropped with an
accuracy of +/- 30 feet.

The Indonesian Air Force withdrew to West Irian and were never seen again.

The only opposition was CIA operated B-26 and P-51 aircraft.

At least one did exceed the speed of sound.
