5 Favourite Planes

[plan_D]

Warfare, the creator of science and technology. Well said Gemhorse, I have to say I perfer the Mosquito over the P-38 as well. Their combat records were both great feats, it's not really sensible to argue which is superior but it's always interesting

i would pick a mossie for a low-level bombign raid...........

Amiens was one of the best examples of Mosquito brilliance.

 

[Lightning Guy]

I would agree with that but I would pick the P-38 if I had to fly a long-range escort mission. I think I mentioned somehwere on here about this discussion centering around national bias and that may well be the case. By the way, Gemhorse's post was probably the most eloquent I have seen on this site. Very well said.

 

[cheddar cheese]

well, im not affected by national bias, i prefer the P-38 as well 8)

C.C if Lightning Guy wasn't here you'd be on the Mosquito, always the easy option.

 

[cheddar cheese]

[cheddar cheese]

[the lancaster kicks ass]

since when did you like the MC. 205, you never talk about it.....................

 

[cheddar cheese]

it looks sweet and ive learnt its a pretty decent plane

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

when, i've never even heard you mention it once.................

 

[cheddar cheese]

just cos i dont talk about it doesnt mean i dont know about it, ive done some research about it off the site 8)

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

i hope you don't mean from TG planes..................

 

[cheddar cheese]

nope, tg planes is a foolish website with much false information

The Lightning was a good plane, but for Britain, as Britain was building it (And Canada, I know) the Mosquito was better because it took less work and it was cheaper. And it was still brilliant.

So my list is:

1) Spitfire Mk XIV
2) DH Mosquito
3) B-24
4) Me-262 'Swallow'
5) FW-190

Not an Italian plane among them...

 

[cheddar cheese]

that was just cheap

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

p.s., as encouragment, if i don't find one soon, i'm gonna use the stuka!!!
