The interesting link posted a while ago about the Wellington v Ju88 got me thinking (hmm sometimes a dangerous thing).
Did Bomber v Bomber combats often take place - I would guess the most common type of meetings between these type of aircraft would be patrol craft like the FW200, JU290 running into Sunderlands, Whitley's, Wellingtons and the odd patrol Lanc.
If these types of aircraft did encounter each other is an engagement a pretty forgone conclusion or would they go there separate ways, if combat did take place would the generally heavier armaments of the FW200 and JU's be an advantage as they had a few 20mm cannon. Sunderlands although having a heavy armament only had 303's (I'm quite prepared to be proved wrong on that).
Thanks.
