    The Best Bomber of WWII: #4

    OK, I am late to the discussion. Why is the B-29 omitted? The Russians sure liked it.

    Favorite gun armament of WWII aircraft

    In my simulator, I like the cannons. Preferably, 4 20mm. I need all the help I can get!

    i am new also. And i like to drink too. My favorites are the F4u Corsair and the P-47 T-bolt. I met one of the original Lockheed engineers involved with the P-38. Fantastic guy! He felt bad about those test pilots...
