    Best Bomber of WW2 -- #3

    Sorry to interrupt but I just had to share this song that Lancaster pilots used to sing about their Fortress counterparts. We're flying Flying Fortresses at 30,000 feet, We're flying Flying Fortresses at 30,000 feet, We've bags of point five ammo and a teeny weeny bomb And we drop the...

    What do you think of the bell p-39 was it a good dogfighter

    I think I may have mentioned that the G of G ws already in a bad way due to the engine placement. Removing a bit of armour shouldn'y make much difference. I heard a similar tale from 111 sqn (BEF) in France 1940 abut a hurri pilot who put salvaged armour from a Do-17 behind the seat of his...

    The Kentish Affair

    Second opinions needed about some ww2 aircraft remarks..

    What do you think of the bell p-39 was it a good dogfighter

    From what I hear the P-39 was a bi of a dud. It got a reputation as a deathtra amongst USAAF cadets who flew it over Arizona etc due to the fact that it was difficult to know when the a/c was going to stall. Apparently it gave little or no warning and was qite difficult to recover due to the c...
