steinerman Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Morning Friends, I'm wondering if the B-36 had deicing boots. Most of the high altitude bombers of that era, namely the B-17 and the B-29 had deicing boots, but for some reason I've never seen any pictures or videos of them on a B-36. I even went back and watched parts of "Strategic Air Command" and nope, not showing up there either. Just curious because if not, how did they keep the wings from icing up?

Dave Williams Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Likely had hot air from the engines piped along the leading edge of the wing. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
