Agreed. P-40, Typhoon, even the Bf109 & Bf110 were classic shark-mouth candidates.

Russia keeps playing the FAFO game and will eventually reap the rewards of it's efforts... Russian warship fires flares at Danish helicopter as Nato jets shoot down drone over Lithuania

Sure looks like it.

:facepalm:

Most likely. LG+LW would have been an aircraft of 12./LG1 and most likely a Ju87 or Ju88 depending on the time frame.

The Germans did have some good winter and/or nigh-fighter camouflage late-war that is curiously represented with relative accuracy in that "photo". Their late-war schemes *almost* approaches the Italians (and IJA) camo scheme "wow factor".

One of the pilots had a star scratched into his windscreen.

Isn't that a Star Destroyer of the Galactic Empire's Imperial Navy?

Don't forget that Kenny's 63rd and 65th BS wreaked absolute havoc with their skip-bombing B-17s.

And release the Kraken Sea Babies.

And the British were clever enough to stick three or four B-26 bases together to make it happen... :lol:

Well, you know, if they added two more engines to the B-17... Anyway, a B-29 did actually fly to England during the war. The "Hobo Queen (41-36393) toured England in early '44 as a propaganda mission. It was limited to where it could visit due to runway length and composition requirements, by...

Even the fire-bombing campaigns exacted a human toll higher than both atom bombs and was absolutely horrific. The US military had been working on specific fire-bombing tactics for Japanese targets, even building a "town" with traditional style buildings to evaluate it's effectiveness. The...

The RNZAF was at Henderson Field (Guadalcanal) in '42 with their Hudsons...there is a chance they may have provided some Commonwealth O2 systems to the P-400 pilots stationed there.

The FM2 certainly had F4F lines, but had a different engine, tail, armament and so on. Sure, we can lump the FM2 into the F4F class based on looks, but plenty of examples where significant changes between marks create a stand-alone type. The P-40 was a re-engined P-36, so does that count? The...
