British Bomber Command

[cheddar cheese]

My preference is towards fighters, namely heavy fighters.

 

[mosquitoman]

In other words, Mossies and Beaus?

 

[cheddar cheese]

Well mot really the Mossie, I have never really liked it. I do however like the P-38, Beau, Me-410 etc...I also like planes such as B-25, B-26, A-20, A-26 etc...Also like Fw-190 a hell of a lot 8)

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

well MM, looks like it's just us two holding up the bombers, i'll take the heavies, you take everything else.........

 

[cheddar cheese]

With my current siggy im holding up for bombers... 8)

 

[mosquitoman]

Yes, but thet're Italian bombers

 

[cheddar cheese]

And damn great they are too 8)

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

well, no, nothing prefixed by "Italian" can be great........

 

[cheddar cheese]

These are great bombers. These are Italian.

There we go, the only thing there that is prefixed by Italian is the full stop. Ha! I made you look stupid

 

[mosquitoman]

What- the Piaggio.108 had a massive bulge for a nose how can that be good

 

[cheddar cheese]

Only the B model did. The A, C and T had more conventional noses 8)

The Z.1007 was a great bomber, and the SM.79 was one of the very best torpedo bombers. Ok the BR.20 was a little pooey but damn it looks good 8)

 

[mosquitoman]

The Hally was a better bomber than the Z.1007 and the Beau was a better torpedo bomber than the SM.79

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

well, CC, how many dedicated torpedo bombers did the SM.79 have to go up against??

 

[cheddar cheese]

I dont know, how many other dedicated torpedo bombers have to go up against?

MM, the Z.1007 was not in the same league as the Halifax, but more of a rival for the Wellington. It was a medium bomber.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

well CC, it's a very low number.........

 

[cheddar cheese]

Exactly. It doesnt change the validity of my statement.

 

[mosquitoman]

I'm holding the flag for Coastal Command- the most underrated part of ANY air force during WWII

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

hey what about transport command??

 

[mosquitoman]

I was only going on combat aircraft, not transports

 

[evangilder]

But transports often flew into combat zones for airdrops and paratrooper jumps. Those guys had it real bad. Slow and unarmed. They really took it during Varsity. Not to take away from Coastal Command though.
