Into The Pickle Barrel - Early US Guided Bombs

Rather than load the B-17 with difficult-to-aim bombs, why not load it with 2 or 4 torpedoes (depending on range).
Interesting proposal... I'm not sure a) B-17s could be fitted to carry torpedoes (tho B-26s were in a pinch at Midway) or b) I'd want to fly a B-17 at 100kt at 50ft to lauch 1...:eek:
