The Consolidated B-32 existed in the shadow of the much more famous B-29. It's operational history was very short, but it's an interesting airplane and one that should be looked at.

I'm taking this opportunity to cover aircraft electrical systems and fire suppression as well as general information on the plane. I'll dive into the Sperry A17 turrets and Compensating gun sights as well, although I'm not super happy with my explanation of the later. I might revisit that in the future.

Note, The Wellington went into battle with a turret before the Defiant. However these were fore aft turrets without the same large field of fire as a typical upper turret like that on the Defiant.
