Best Atlantic recon aircraft

[Gemhorse]

Yeah, quite a good replacement for the Fw 200's, the Ju 290...although they were only doing the Atlantic thing for a year or so, I believe - Ended-up being a transporter...I would have to give my endorsement to the B.24 Liberators, they have a distinguished history in the Atlantic ...and the Hudson's did too...Also, the Sunderland was a really great aircraft, it's pedigree in Flying Boats was excellent, even after the War...We had them down here in the Pacific, a popular ' Inter-islander '...

i think the B-24 was the decisive aircraft however................

 

[Gemhorse]

Yup, I agree with that...out of them all, the B-24....

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

but did it actually bomb u-boats or just spot them??

 

[Erich]

don't think we can catergorize the Lib as a recon plane gents. A bomber yes and a good one of U-boots as well as the Sunderland.

The Ju-52/3m looks strange with the floats, I thought the same for the C-47 with floats.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

the C-47 with floats dosn't look that bad IMO...............

 

[plan_D]

I didn't say it looked bad, I said it looks strange. Just to clear things up...

 

[cheddar cheese]
