ppfftt, Bomber command didn't need women we're far more refined than you savages "woman, ug ug" no we're much more advanced









that being said, we did have some women, far more tastefull than yours however



all sources on right click........
 
as far as I've be told the Brits were very consevative and 6gp (RCAF) Bomber Command wanted to be different so we kinda flaunted RAF discipline after all we were just colonials
 
ppfftt, face it you're loosing this one

and yes pb's right, you must be aware of the stiff upper-lipped, very posh and pompus image of your typical pre-war RAF pilot "what what", "tally ho", "chocks away" and all that jazz, well whilst most of bomber command was made up of younger, less experienced men that wouldn't mind a woman on their planes, the older pompus types were in positions of greater power, and could stop such indecent exposure, as they were much more traditional and gentlemanly, baisically it comes down to respect and being true english gentlemen, naming aircraft however was almost encouraged, naming her made the crews feel closer to their 'craft, many crews even said they treated "their" lanc as their girlfriends, each crew member felt they had a connection with their aircraft and they never had to fight with other crew members for her, then of course the canuks came along, and as pb said, being mere deminions they weren't as refined as us and allowed scantily clad women, like the savages they were
 
as i recall that B-24 was only used as a formation aircraft? and who the hell puts nose art on the starboard side?

you know i think the Americans used women so much to cover up an insecurity, they know their English skills are so lacking they just use women instead, the British, more specifically the English nose art uses a huge range of literary devices, including alliteration, simily and quotations, when it comes down to it i believe the RAF nose art had a far greater educational value, not only destroying germany but teaching jerry correct grammar at the same time, why else would they use spot lights other than to try and read the literary genius that is RAF nose are this of course leads me onto my favourite of all the lancaster nose art, Nick the Nazi Neutralizer, very clever stuff...

but anyway why'm i arguing about nose art and why're you arguing about the B-24 this's supposed to be an argument about the lanc's cammo against the B-29's which the lanc wins hands down........

picture source- our albums......

edit- why the frigging hell aint the picture showing?

Oh what a bunch of crap! It showed what we were ultimetly fighting for! God, country, apple pie and a 38C!

I agree about the cammo - probably the only thing the lac had over the B-29
