Synopsis:
Elaboration:

Okay, guess what? This one wasn't meant to be too serious... (and wait 'til you see the Ultrafortress!!!)

This superbomber was done with no desire for believability... An eight-engined bomber would have been heavy and noisy, for sure. Added wing area would also have meant more fuel capacity, and perhaps some extra ordnance being carried on underwing pylons... but did they know how to do that at the time?
