Hi,

here is a drawing to a bomber Project version of Douglas DC-5.

Flying Magazine

Mislabelled for the DB-5, which said to have been a projected bomber version of the DC-5.
Or even mislabelled for the Douglas A-20 Havoc with the company designation DB-7?

That's a real project,developed from DC-5.

Not having found anything elsewhere about a would-be DC-5 based bomber, I returned to the initial image shared by hesham, and it is possible that the answer to that is right there for all to see: it was merely one magazine's own speculation.

To be honest,there is another different drawing to a bomber version of DC-5,from reliable source,but I can't share it.

There is also a four engined version ?.

But, at least, can you give us the source's name?

There was a version of the DC-5 that was proposed with four Ranger 12-cylinder inverted V air-cooled engines, but it was an airliner not a bomber.

Sorry for this mistake,I thought that,I had a two drawings to a four engined
civil and bomber versions,but in fact I have only one for civil concept in
a book; Douglas Propliners DC-1 to DC-7,but unfortunately I can't find the
other source which declared that,Douglas had a plans to develop a four
engines version in both civil and bomber concepts,but the projects were
terminated.
