Stukas were big in the gunsights of Allied aircraft, where they belonged. Always reminded me of a Vulture, crappin' and spitting lead on a road crammed with refugees, no glory in that...The Ju88 was a much more refined aircraft by comparison - BUT, I'm here to defend the Mosquito...and when Israel acquired it's 300, of various marks from Britain, France and various other sources in 1948, many were already in poor condition. They acquired more in the '50's, mostly FB6's and used them in a couple of squadrons with a nil loss rate and near 100% serviceability! One should realise that when they built them, they weren't designed to last that long, and considering they've still got 30 odd worldwide with potentially new fuselages to come on stream, using today's epoxy glues and whatnot, they're gonna be around for awhile yet. No one was really inspired back in '45 to keep Ju88's particuarly [let alone stukas] and they are fishing the occasional '88 out of fiords now, but will they ever fly again? - Mossies were very popular after the War because of their Rep: they didn't get that because they were mediochre...
