What is Your favourite plane from ww2?

[plan_D]

The peoples aicraft are as such:

Lanc- Lancaster
C.C - P.108
GrG - Me-262A-1a
LG - P-38 Lightning
Me - Spitfire
Brad - Manchester

That P.108 is nothing special, it was an experiment. Do you know they tested Spitfires with flamethrowers as a ground attack plane but soon realised it was stupid.

 

[cheddar cheese]

i know but its still crazy yup, and the germans tried to use flamethrowers as a rear defence for Dornier Do-17's 8)

 

[Lightning Guy]

Rear defense would be one thing. I would think with a forward firing flame thrower you would soon be flying into your own flame.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

i doubt it would be that effective anyway...............

 

[cheddar cheese]

yeah, on the dorniers they just squirted oil most of the time

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

if the cockpit of the pilot behind got couvered in oil, he wouldn't be able to see, so it would be pretty effective................

 

[cheddar cheese]

thats what happened to that hurricane pilot that was on tv a few nights ago

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

really??

 

[cheddar cheese]

yup, thats where i leant about it, christ, you didnt think i just happned to know that did you?

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

i was a little suprised yes................

 

[cheddar cheese]

well, i am trying learn more so i can post more on topic 8)

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

good for you...............

 

[cheddar cheese]

indeed 8)

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

very.............

 

[cheddar cheese]

ok lets not get into another one of these

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

and why not??

 

[cheddar cheese]

because it takes up pages and its my job as a mod to stop it?

 

[Stuka-99]

Mind you it may have been effective if they place the flamethrower under the spitfire then it would surely be spitting fire !!!!1

 

[cheddar cheese]

or, if they painted some nose art on it and put the flamethrower where the mouth is

 

[luca servitto]

that would look cool!! still they would just fly OVER the flame
