OK, i know this is OLD, and TBH, i've read the Xwing series once before, but i'm just going through them again.....in this particular novel, they capture a Corellian Corvette, or Blockade Runner......BUT, they keep referring to a Bow Hangar which is heavily modified to hold 4 tie fighters then retrofitted to accomodate 9 x-wings....3 stacks of 3 i believe.....overlapping, i grant you, but...please.....)

Suspension of disbelief in the films is one thing.....in a book which will take tens of hours to read, digest and contemplate....it's another matter.....

So, Blockade Runners with bow hangars that are large enough to hold 3/4 of a squadron???? what would this thing look like and how is it possible??????:wacko

You obviously missed the part about this being a highly modified Corvette that came out of the shipyard this way. There wasn't a bridge in the front, it was relocated. So pretty much the entire "hammerhead" front was a hangar with a very small bridge at the top.
 
Back in the early days of the comics there was another larger version of the Corvette, that had the bow cylinder facing forward. Had capability of carrying a squadron of X-wings.

Kinda like the occasional modification done to naval ships of the line to carry additional air support or SEAL deployment vehicles.

I thought that one was the Corellian gunship? The one with the forward facing cylinder, that is.
 
It sounds like it, but the gunship is 30m shorter.

Thank you, guys! That actually makes a lot more sense now!

A good way to picture it is when Piggy boards it, he's in the hangar and he fires into the ceiling, which is the bridge floor. So it's a small bridge at the very top, while the entire remaining "hammerhead" is hangar space.
