About the book: 2004 / It was called “model 299”. That's all! No name, no official designation. The company did the project only with its own funds. The idea of ​​the project was to create a long-range bomber from the Model 247 passenger airliner. In reality, in reality, no one wanted this. Why does the US need a long-range bomber? Two huge oceans separate the United States from other major world powers, and both oceans are completely controlled by the American navy. No, well, it’s not like fighting Mexico with bombers? Even if some power hostile to the United States purchases the “Model 299” or creates something similar, then before the raids on the United States, the crews of the aircraft will still receive “one-way tickets.” The plane is still not capable of flying from Europe or Japan to North America and back. However, the Japanese are still suicides, but still not in such numbers as to crush America.
