No transport aircraft can take on some RAF/USAAF/LUFTWAFFE fighter flyboys. No dc3 no dc4 no me323 no ju52 nothing.
in this case its not the plane but what it encountered. Poor guys had no chance when engaged.
Now after d-day i would hate to be in the sky with a balkenkreuz on it. As did the poor bastards that had too. Go see the luftwaffe losses on fighters and bombers.
