[the lancaster kicks ass]

MP, whice plant's that in your pic??

 

[plan_D]

Brilliant sig, MP. Ladies and gentlemen, that's why America came out on top.

 

[Lightning Guy]

I'm going to guess that is the Willow Run plant.

 

[Gemhorse]

Definately flying a Mosquito for me, preferably with 489[NZ]Sqn., or Nightfighting with 85 Sqn., or shooting ships up with the Banff Wing...

 

[MP-Willow]

For you all, LG got it it is Wilow Run Ford's mile long plant with a big left turn in it so to stay in one county 8) I am glad you all like it, I have a few others and am always looking for photos of production or nose art. I have one of a lady on the line with rivits

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

you got me interested..........................

 

[Dan]

me well i would be in a p-38 shootin up "franks" over the phillipenes, in a LI-2 Sturmivok bloin up those damned panzer tanks in stalingrad, or in a Spitfire mach VI shootin up fw-190s

 

[GermansRGeniuses]

New theory! B-25G flying at tree-and-mast-height in the south Pacific on ship-attack runs with a 75mm cannon, 8 rockets, 3 1000lb bombs or a torpedo!

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

i know they weren't used out there, but if i was doing a low level raid in ETO i would rahter be in a mossie..........................

 

[MP-Willow]

GermansRGeniunes, Are you shure the B-25G had that cannon? I am pritty shure it is only the H and that experiment was found poorly profitable. The hardnose with 8 or 10 .5 inch guns were much better and you get the co-pilot back.

Lanc-interested in what?

 

[Lightning Guy]

MP-Willow, the B-25G was the first version of the B-25 to be equipped with a 75mm cannon with 21rpg. Backing this weapon up were 2 .50cals with 400rpg. The later B-25H had the 75mm cannon, plus 4 .50cals in the nose and 4 more bolted on to the fuselage sides, all with 400rpg.

Lanc-interested in what?

what??

 

[MP-Willow]

Opps thanks Lighening. It was still that low 21 rds and low rate of fire that make me feel unesed about that cannon. B)

 

[Hot Space]

A Spitfire XIV, Germany, 1945 8)

Hot Space

 

[plan_D]

Spitfire Mk. XVIII, Germany, 1945.

Or, Me-262C-1a ( ), 1945. ( I know, Erich, it only had one combat sortie. )

Or, Me-262A-1a ~ Kommando Nowotny ~ 1944 ~ ETO.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

Kommando Nowotny ~ 1944 ~ ETO.

the ETO, you don't say.......................

The H is the one I meant, thanks!

Kommando Nowotny ~ 1944 ~ ETO.

the ETO, you don't say.......................

Lanc, although Kommando Notwony didn't fly in the Pacific, the Japs had an Me-262 of their own.

The Kikka!

Mainly the same, but the wings were straight.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

they also had a carbon copy of the Me-163 in the Mitsubishi J8M1 Shusui...........................
