I like the discrption of the Beau ''two engines followed by an aeroplane''Like the A-10, the Beaufighter is beautifully ugly. You can see at a glance that this airplane means business.
Keep in mind that the favored aircraft mentioned, is the barrel-shaped F4F/Martlet - the Buffalo falls well within that criteria.
He may have a point concerning the Me 263/Ju 248, but of course the ameisenbear was the Do-335. Unless that is another caidenism. And if penguins can fly, then why not pigs?Me263?
Great idea! I dare you not smile when you look at a penguin.
Do Warthogs count?
Maybe that is because it didn't have a radiator?????Another beauty is the French Cauldron Renault CR 714. Very unique design, because its radiator is symmetrically on a line with the fuselage.
This is from Andrew Thomas book Griffon Spitfire Aces
Page 75
"No less a figure than the former Inspector General of the Luftwaffe General Adolf Galland recorded a highly appropriate epitath to the type when he wrote, The best thing about the Spitfire XIV was that there were so few of them"
His statement is quoted in many books and websites, but all of them failed to provide a source.
I call it bullshit and I find it disgusting when British authors just pull random shit out of their ass, especially when lies are spread about a honorable guy who can't defend himself.
Shameful
