ah, but that makes the spit better as it was faster and had a higher ceiling 8) and it looked better, and i bet spitfires shot down more planes than lancasters
I don't want to insult you, Lanc, but I can't immagine a bomber trying to evade a squadron of Messerschmitt Bf-109 or Focke-Wulf FW-190.
What would do a bomber against those planes without a fighter squadron to take on the enemy fighters ?
Here are my choices:
1. Spitfire Mk. IX (I know what you'll say: "Why the Mk. IX instead of the Mk. XIV ?" Well, I don't know. I love it, that's all. 8) )
2. Spitfire Mk. XIV
3. Hurricane (Any Mark.)
4. Mustang III
5. Tempest V
yes, the tempest would make a good escort 8) would probably be the most likely of those to be used as an escort and the spits and hurricanes didnt have to rage to get to berlin back 8)
