MOST UNDERRATED AIRCRAFT OF WWII?

In contrast to the other topic what do you think the most underrated aircraft of WW2 was?

FLYBOYJ · Apr 13, 2005

3 way tie - the Lysander, the PO-2, and the Storch. B-24 honerable mention

Fiat G.55, P-39 Airacobra or Hawker Tempest MkIV

Fiat G.55 is a great aircraft...

I would have to say the Series 5 Italian fighters, and also the Piaggio P.108 and the Macchi MC.200 8)

Brewster Buffalo. Look what the Finns did with it.

cheddar cheese · Apr 13, 2005

I can certainly see the logic in that choice evan, I must say id forgot about that 8)

delcyros · Apr 13, 2005

IAR-81, Storch, Po-2 and Fw-189
(agreed, Buffalo also)
and moreso the P-40 B

FLYBOYJ · Apr 13, 2005

FW-189 - Forgot that one. That would of been a kick to fly, one would probably need lots of sunscreen 8)

mosquitoman · Apr 13, 2005

B-239, B-24, Tiffie and the Hallie, all of them never recieved the praise they deserved as they were overshadowed by more "famous" planes

FLYBOYJ · Apr 13, 2005

HEY WHAT ABOUT THE FOKKER D.21 - AGAIN, THIS DID WELL WITH THE FINNS - HEY WAIT, MAYBE THE FINNS WERE THE MOST UNDER-RATED AF OF WWII!?!

mosquitoman · Apr 13, 2005

Yep, they were no-one hqs heard of them but they performed miracles with the planes they had

cheddar cheese · Apr 14, 2005

Yep, the Finns were pretty amazing.

Ah yes, the Fw-189 - one of my favourite aircraft.

evangilder · Apr 14, 2005

I would agree, Flyboy. The Finns put up a hell of a fight!

FLYBOYJ · Apr 14, 2005

BRING YOUR COPPERTONE!

evangilder · Apr 14, 2005

Don't forget the sunglasses 8) and the windex!

No need to if you fly an Fw-189C

FLYBOYJ · Apr 14, 2005

I once read that many of the post war treaties between the Soviet Union and the Finns were due to the Russians actually being afraid of them! I think because of these treaties the Finns had to buy a certain percentage of Soviet military equipment. Comments?!?

Ironically that actually performed better than the Henschel Hs-129 that it was in competition with, but the RLM chose the Henschel for some reason...
