Best Bomber

[plan_D]

It is funny when an American has to correct an Englishman on his spelling of his own language.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

i know, i can spell words in french that i can't even spell in English..........

 

[cheddar cheese]

joke's on you, in correcting our "typos", you made one yourself, it was the Do-17, not the do-17...............

using that incorrect theory, there are several typos in that message

Joke's on you, in correcting our typographical errors/"typos,"/, you made one yourself, it was called the Dornier Do-17, not the do-17... is the correct version of that sentence (yes, Joke's does INDEED have an apostrophe as it's an abbreviated version of the words "The joke is...") and yes, plan_D, it is quite humorous when a Brazilian-Dutchman corrects an Englishman's English (it's even funnier when you find out that English is my second language technically, as I learned Portugese first-which I taught myself how to read and write in, i may add-but in actual reading, writing and speech, it is my first language indeed)

A Brazilian-Dutchman living in California, how interesting.

[plan_D]

What's the thank you for?

C.C. said he's really regretting using his vote on the lancaster now............

 

[cheddar cheese]

yeah i am, the b-29 was the best bomber of the war, if id have voted for that it would be winning

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

1) the lancaster was better than the B-29
2) it would only but the two level................

 

[plan_D]

The B-29 was better...

 

[cheddar cheese]

thankyou 8) look, the 2 are level now

 

[plan_D]

I know, I finally used my vote after being swayed to the B-29. Although I was already thinking the B-29 was better.

 

[cheddar cheese]

ah, good choice 8)

 

[Lightning Guy]

The B-29 (although not my favorite) was the best bomber of the war. No other bomber could match its combination of speed, range, payload, and defensive firepower.

 

[MP-Willow]

We are comparing two bombers that are very differnt, and the B-29 was developed after the Lancaster. My vote was with the B-24, yes it is very fa behind and was to be replaced by the B-29s, but the B-24 made all that B-29 stuff posible. With out the B-24 in the PTO preparing the way it would have been a lot worse.

 

[Lightning Guy]

The B-24 was certainly the most important American bomber and quite possibility the most important Allied bomber. But the fact remains that the B-29 was the BEST bomber to see service during the war. And I never even really liked the B-29!

 

[plan_D]

I like the B-24 more than the B-29 as well, but as Lightning said the B-29 was the best bomber to see service.

 

[MP-Willow]

Plan_D, that is a nice B-24 pic. Is it a J model? I am surprised you would change your sig pic, but thanks.

As for all this talk of the B-29 yes is probable was the better, but it was also newer. Well I am just overly passionate for the b-24, maybe like Lanc thanks for the good Liberator support, it has been slow in comming.

Question, would the B-29 be the best if it did not have the P-47 and P-51 escourts?

 

[plan_D]

I think it is the J, I don't actually know.

I've changed my sig twice now, first it was a Spitfire in American markings, then a Swallow, and now the Liberator.
Yes, the B-29 still would be the best.
