I've never seen landing gears like these before...
Any more interesting landing gears you've seen on the web?

Being the heaviest, land based airplane in exsistance up to that time the Peacemaker was outfitted with the largest single wheel-main-landing gear yet made. Track treads were tried as a novel way to spread the weight and save rubber. Eventually, a mult-truck, rubber tire configuration was settled on.
