But the aircraft had a lot of differnt designations. The C-53 Skytrooper was the troop transport. it had no reinforced floor or cargo doors.
Over all the plane is a great one, and one that I would love to see fly again.
Stuka I like the picture in the sig. The Ju-52 was used for more things but the C-47 survived more maybe because it had more fighters to cover it?
As for the He 111 it was recovered but I talked with the CAF team and it will not be returning to the air, though it might be rebuilt to static, but that is a long shot.
I was reading on the bf 109 that some 34,000 were produced but only a few hundred survived the war
it is a great shame i would love to see so many planes flying, even if theyre only replicas. MC.202's, P.108's et al. but im going to a battle of britain memorial flight in a couple of weeks should be good 8)
also, looking at the poll ive just noticed that the Me-323 has more votes than the Horsa, the Horsa did actually have quite an impact 8)
