My favourite WW2 is probably the Lancaster, the B29 or the Mossie, they all have pros and cons and I can't decide between them.
Post-War - B-52 or one of the V-bombers (Vulcan or Valiant)

B29, the best heavy bomber
Mossie the best medium bomber
Victor Best Post war bomber The only difference

WW2: B-17, B-29, B-36 Peacemaker (never got a chance to prove itself),
He-177 Grief (would have been better with redesigned engines).
Post WW2 and Modern: Flying Wing, Avro Vulcan, B-52 Stratofortress,
F-117 Nighthawk, B-2 Spirit, F-111 (okay not strictly a bomber but I
like it).
On the subject of the AH-64D Apache Longbow they do carry two AAMs on each side of the small weapons platform and 16 ASMs per side. Heaven help the opposition if someone ever converts all those hard-points to carry AAMs. Goodbye half the opposition airforce, especially if you hovered near the opposition airbase and took them out as they were taking off.

It was better than the Vulcan for Nuke strike.
I'm not going to hold anything against you Lanc, but you like WW2 French Bombers, so ultimately your view doesn't mean anything. The B-58 looks cool although the Vulcan looks even better!the lancaster kicks ass said:
