Nice storry man...really nice...

Nice story, the P-11 was a nice little aircraft and it is good to see they are now friends

I always thought it was the other way around. I thin that it was a stuka that (probably) was the first arial casualty. I will search it up. To be continued...

Srry, it was the first german loss in ww2 shot down on the first day of the campain in poland by a p11.
I wonder how they ever find out when the first p11 was shot down. There were hundreds of p11 shot down in the first days..

You lie! P.11's are invincible

 

[plan_D]

So invincible that only one P.11c is left.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

perhaps, because it is invincible, they only had to make one as they knew it would never get shot down??

 

[mosquitoman]

They were mostly killed on the ground, in the air they could just about hold their own even with the much vaunted Bf-109

 

[plan_D]

I think you're holding the P.11c much-much-much higher than it should be there, MM. You might be mixing it up with something like a Spitfire or Hurricane.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

i'm with pD on this one...........

 

[cheddar cheese]

Nah it is a great plane. More manoeverable than a French soldier on the run.

 

[mosquitoman]

It took down quite a few Me110s anyway

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

so could lots of planes.......

 

[plan_D]

That's hardly an achievement.

 

[mosquitoman]

For an early monoplane, it was. I think the P.11 shot down more plane than P.11s were shot down

 

[cheddar cheese]

I wouldnt be surprised. They were pretty remarkable little planes.

 

[mosquitoman]

Finally, someone's on my side

 

[plan_D]

He's about the only one.

 

[cheddar cheese]

It did what was asked of it at the time, and nothing else.

 

[plan_D]

I know, it got shot down. The Germans asked that of it.
