well, it was the swordfish more than the albacore, they were used as carrier born torpedo bombers, but towards the end of the war they were used on D-Day as well.......................
Yeah, it cut down on the G-forces a pilot would experience on pull-out from the dive. Here is a link with some pretty neat CG images of what it would have looked like. The Hs-132
I had heard somewhere that a pilot was supposed to be able to handle a 12G pullout since the G-forces would be going through his chest, front to back, rather than up and down.
i wouldn't mind giving it a go, but C.C, u realise that as you're taller you, in theory, wouldn't be able to pull more G's than the rest of us..............
