[the lancaster kicks ass]

ok i didn't know you can't speak english that well so i may have commented on your spelling in the ugliest plane thread, can i apologise now.........................

and i think we all agree with you about the C-47......................

 

[plan_D]

On impact it definately was the best.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

the horsa was best for stealth however..................

 

[plan_D]

And the pilots and navigators were excellent, Caen De Canal Bridge-June 6th-1944. 8)

And the pilots and navigators were excellent, Caen De Canal Bridge-June 6th-1944.

tell that to the houndreds of paratroopers that were scattered all over france.....................

 

[plan_D]

The Caen De Canal bridge was Pegasus Bridge, the glider borne troops there landed within a few metres of the Bridge.

 

[toffi]

One even landed with it's nose placed into the entanglement of the defence of brigde. The Germans must have been quite surprised.

 

[plan_D]

The 2nd Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire only lost 2 men taking that bridge too.

i meant the first part of you mesaage, i know about pegasus bridge, i'm mean the part about the navigators being exelent, i'm not saying they weren't, i'm just saying that the paratroopers scattered over northern franch wouldn't agree with me........................

 

[plan_D]

I was talking about the Horsa pilots and navigators. The Dakota pilots had a hard time, but the British drop zones were not even nearly as scattered as the American ones.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

that's because, as you said, most of our's were droped in gliders.................

 

[NightHawk]

dont worry i fotgive....i forgive...

 

[P38 Pilot]

The C47 was the best transporter overall. It could carry 20 paratroopers! You cant beat that! It was also great in long range!!!! 8)

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

actually you can beat 20

but i think we're all agreed it was the C-47...........

 

[cheddar cheese]

I prefer SM.82 Canguru... 8)

 

[cheddar cheese]

(And P.108T)

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]
