Best Bomber

[MP-Willow]

A spitfire in UAAF colors? Question how long did the Yanks fly spits? I have not read much on that.

 

[plan_D]

That was my first sig, I heard they were flying them since 1942.

spits dont look right in USAAF colours

 

[Lightning Guy]

I believe that the US mostly used fighter marks of the Spit in Africa and Europe but I think that was mostly earlier in the war since the Spit didn't have the range for the escort missions. Recon models may have been in service longer, but I'm not sure there either.

 

[MP-Willow]

thanks all. C.C I would agree a spit looks a bit off with USAAF star. But then how meny US made planes had other flags on them? Say the P-39, a nice but problumatic project that surved for the Russians, almost the whole production went to Russia. For that matter how about the Navey in 1940 sending destroyers to the British?

Have you seen the Mosquito in American colours, Willow?

Also, the Hurricane in Soviet colours, with the Spitfire in Soviet colours.

Yes, I think we agreed on that in some other thread.

[MP-Willow]

Plan_D, i have not seen the Mossie in UASSF colors sorry. wha made it so bad?

C.C, what about the B-29?

 

[plan_D]

It think he's saying the B-29 was the best, in which I agree with him on.

Here's the DH Mosquito in US colours:

get the damn american mossie away! ahhh, much better, i think well all agree 8)

 

[plan_D]

He dropped his load..

 

[Lightning Guy]

I think the Americans mostly used the Mossie for photo-recon. Maybe a few nightfighters but that's about it. And the B-29 was easily the best bomber of the war.

 

[plan_D]

Yes, you are exactly right on all comments there Lightning.

 

[Lightning Guy]

Hey, I appreciate being agreed with finally.

 

[MP-Willow]

C.C. you should change your flag, or be posting more Ruggian aircraft! Say an A-20 with a read Star

This is a bomber thread so why that fighter being shown? Yes it was needed, but you could replace it with a bomber, even a Lanc
Sorry I just read, you did but one up, but it missed.
