Dear DerAdlerIstGelandet You are right, the Mustang was a long range fighter, the Spiti was a short range interceptor. But, there was a tendency, to increase the Spiti's range and the later types had more and more range, but at 1944 was unnecessary to create a long range Spiti escort type...

There isn't any fighter, that you cant swap for another fighter. The P-51 you can swap for the P-47 or P-38. Maybe the causality of Ally would be higher if only the P-47 or P-38 will be the only escort fighter, but they will win the war. The only different between the Mustang and the Spiti and...

Good question! I think the Spiti was developed in very dramatic way without Mitchell. The Spiti I wing span was 36 ft 10 in, lenght was 29 ft 11 in, max weight 5819 pounds, max speed 362 mph. The Spiti 21 span was 40 ft 4 in, lenght was 32,8 ft 8 in, max weight 9124 pounds, max speed 457 mph...

Its true, but without defending, these C-47 are worth nothing! In the siege of Burma in 1944 Spiti VIII defended the transport a/c-s and the Japanese fighters could shot down only 3 C-47.

To FLYBOYJ No but it could carry a barrel of beer without any conversation! And of course it could fly with only one engine!!!!! Thanks DerAdlerIstGelandet :lol:
