Six aircraft types for the RNZAF serving in the PTO and working with the idea that NZ's small population doesn't really allow for the creation of a strategic bomber force that would be large enough to have an effect.
Not much of a difference between you list and reality there, HBPencil.
I think to add to your list I would like to suggest a land based long range maritime patrol/strike type, such as the Liberator.
No General Recon types like the Hudson and Ventura... I would also be tempted to add the Beaufighter as a maritime strike aircraft instead of the Mossie, but that's just me.
I read somewhere that there was a rumour that the RNZAF was consdiering purchasing B-25 Mitchells instead of Venturas, but I'm not certain whether this is fact or not. As for adding the Liberator, perhaps you could concentrate on combat types and leave the obvious Tiger Moth/Harvard out, maybe?
It sure did and we saved the world...would have been nice if the rest of the Allies helped a little...(unless you are a Yank, and think the war started in 1942...)
unless you are a Yank, and think the war started in 1942...
Seems to me it was...wait, let me think a moment here...ahh yes, now I recall the obscure date:I thought it was 1941! Revisionists...
The 7th of December, 1941
Ahh right, well...you see, there were these two guys, they were friends...but one was in love with a nurse, but she was in love with his buddy, so he goes to England to join the RAF and fight the Germans. But he comes back and ends up in this backwater place called Pearl Harbor.What happened on that date again? Not being from America I don't know what else was going on...
