C.C, it would have to be another thread all to its own, but I will say it here the Berlin airlift changed the face of modern trasports. The US Air Force has some nice information on the operation, but I will only say that flying everything a city needs to survive on airplanes for over 400 days, that is an operation!

Now for transports that you might know more about, anyone hear of the 445th bomb group that resuplied Patton durring the bulge? This is the website I saw it under, but it is underconstruction, 445th-bomb-group.com

For you P-38 fans, have you seen this site, thaought it was a great story,

[the lancaster kicks ass]

No, wait no I'm not. I don't keep doing doubles.

hey hey hey, i think i've only ever done one double.............

 

[plan_D]

I was actually refering to C.C with that.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

ah, i'm sorry............

 

[MP-Willow]

Lanc, that was not nice, you just post alot !

 

[plan_D]

He does post a lot, but recently at least 90% of his posts have been on topic.

 

[MP-Willow]

On topic is good! So are we going to get back to ours?

 

[plan_D]

What was it again?
Oh yes, Transports, what are we saying about them? I like the C-47 the most probably because of its combat record.

 

[Lightning Guy]

C-47. It was used just about everywhere and with great effect. It was also very successful in the civilian market.

 

[plan_D]

Yes, a very good standing military and civilian record.

 

[cheddar cheese]

the 52 has more character

 

[Lightning Guy]

How do you define character in an airplane?
