• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

What are all these little hoses protruding on the Dauntless?

Depending on what the item / function their hooked too, what your looking at could be a 'combination' of 'vent' tubes / 'overflow' tubes and / or 'breather' tubes...

It isn't unusual to have that many, or more, vent, drain, and breather lines for any WWII-era aircraft, both radial-engined and especially inline-engined (when you are dealing with coolant besides), but some aircraft have them dispersed around the airframe more than others, rather than just one main collection point.
