When they first flew they only had single wheel landing gear just like the B17's. The loading on the runways was so great the concrete had to be like 8' thick. In the beginning there were only three bases they could land at. Later on they redesigned the landing gear with bogies with multiple tires. There is still one landing strut with the single wheel on display at the Air Force Museum. The tire is about 10' tall.
