Ah, MP, Now youre making sense! 8) Hey, they could have had it pre-1943 if they wanted. First flew in 1939, introduced into service in 1941 8)

I dont think they could have handled the production with the other projects taht they had and needed more.

Woulda, coulda, shoulda, I'm sorry folks, my money sticks with the B-29 all-around, its stats, performance and legacy speaks for its self! besides, it's just beautiful!

DerAdlerIstGelandet · Apr 17, 2005

And I agree on the B-29.

FLYBOYJ · Apr 17, 2005

They were so good, the Brits used them in the 50s. (I think they just knew a good thing when they saw it ) SORRY LANC - I JUST HAD TO GET THAT IN!

Yeah the B-29 was undoubtedly the best bomber of the war 8) If the P.108 had continued development then I might be inclined to say otherwise...

that is quite alright, and you are correct, we did use about 80 Washingtons (that's what we called them), but we only used them until we got the lincoln into service............

FLYBOYJ · Apr 17, 2005

And remember, the B-29 was so good, the Ruskies had to steal it!

the lancaster kicks ass · Apr 17, 2005

they didn't steal it, it just so happened they were designing a plane that looked exactly the same as the B-29

Right down to the last bolt. What were the chances of that, eh?

the lancaster kicks ass · Apr 17, 2005

i know it's amazing isn't it!!

but hey the russians had a lanc as well you know..........

FLYBOYJ · Apr 17, 2005

"A" Lanc?

the lancaster kicks ass · Apr 17, 2005

yes, one lancaster, with parts from annother............

FLYBOYJ · Apr 17, 2005

I'd like to see a photo of that!

the lancaster kicks ass · Apr 17, 2005

sadly there aren't thought to be any in existance

FLYBOYJ · Apr 17, 2005

Would of loved to see that one

FLYBOYJ · Apr 17, 2005

I guess when the Ruskies copied the B-29 right down to the rivet, even the rudder pedals (which are a casting) retained the Boeing Logo on them!

trackend · Apr 18, 2005

I thinkl the B29 was probabably the best bomber of WW2 due to technolgical advances, but I think the Lanc was the more successfull due to the length of its operational combat service.

FLYBOYJ · Apr 18, 2005

I could live with that!

Soren · Apr 18, 2005

The best bomber to have seen any action during WW2 is the B-29, no doubt.
