I think they got the B17 payload up a bit from the 4000 Lb mark, but then they couldn't reach Berlin IIRC. What gets me is the the DH 98 Mosquito could carry a 4000 Lb bomb load to Berlin, and was the fastest aircraft in the world when it entered service. Faster than all of the then current fighter types. Useless facts for the day
