I think your picture answers your question. Looks like an entire battalion, to me!

I think your picture answers your question. Looks like an entire battalion, to me!Nice! The US Army had their own aircraft carriers. Sort of like the IJ Army's Yamashio Maru class CVE and the Akitsu Maru assault ship. Did any of these LSTs fly Pipers with Bazookas? That would be the US Army providing its own CAS.
The saga of the seasick US Army Piper Cubs on the Navy's smallest aircraft carriers.

I believe a case was considered the standard bomb load, when flying interdiction missions. (I've heard that seltzer bottles sound like dropping bombs when tossed from a Piper Cub.
You don't see many parasol wings on carrier aircraft. Just the French that I can think of, plus the Piper and Stella above.Good that the German's didnt think of the idea and use a Storch

Its gotta be the P51 D/K Mustang !!!!Beautiful means, not about performance, only about looking good. Please choice only one aircraft you think beautiful.
I vote to Bf109. I think it has sharpe shape and beautility.8)8)

Catalina
Eye of the beholder.The Cat is a beautiful aircraft, but the Dornier Do 24 is much sexier...
My vote goes to the Lockheed C-69.Beautiful means, not about performance, only about looking good. Please choice only one aircraft you think beautiful.

To my mind more brutal than beautiful.And what about Hawker Tempest V?View attachment 586867View attachment 586868
What? The lumpy 109? Surely not! Try comparing it to the ultra-smooth Hawker Tempest V. All the beauty of the Spitfire's elliptical wing with the added handsome profile and slippery shape. I say "Pfft" at your 109!Beautiful means, not about performance, only about looking good. Please choice only one aircraft you think beautiful.
