[the lancaster kicks ass]

good list, although the trainer and transport should be included in the 9, try and cut it down a bit...

hehe you think the B-17's a heavy bomber.............

 

[BombTaxi]

I went for the Firtress for the same reason as I went for the P-47, Fw190, Avenger and Typhoon... they're all hard as nails!

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

so then, which two are you getting rid of??

 

[BombTaxi]

Fw190 and Dauntless 8)

 

[cheddar cheese]

Getting rid of the Fw-190 was the silliest thing ive ever seen!

 

[mosquitoman]

Equal with classing the B-17 as a heavy bomber

 

[GT]

Update.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

B-17 was generally at the forfront of american 8th AF bombers................

but if i had to pick between a B-17 and a B-24 i'd take the -24............
