Agree with you, Wingnuts. The Beverley was a beast of an aircraft; I remember the first time I went inside one, it was like walking inside a cathedral! Shame is, the last remaining (complete) one, at Hendon, was scrapped because of lack of room!
Of course, by todays standards, comparing against, say a Galaxy, the Beverley seems small, but what an idea, a double-decker para-dropping aircraft!

Instead they relied too long on the slow, unprotected and lightly armed Stuka.That's why mommy P-38s shouldn't drink and smoke when pregnant.

Make the Henschel Hs 129 larger to better fit the pilot, fit twin BMW radials for speed and lifting power, and right there you have a German warthog.

Well, the Ju88P was armored and had a variety of cannon options - how is this different than the vision of a modified Hs129?No. Or I would have.
