there was no advantage to bringing the windsor into service, the lanc was fine for the war, and post war, after the lickoln which was already planned to replace the lanc, we'd be in the jet age.........
 
I think that the late war was a bit of sad times. You had great piston designs but the jets were at the door. Also the prop engines were good or bad. Engine designes were really wild in the war.

CC, I really dislike the Windsore cockpit

Because of this, a great portion of the world's air forces were rendered instantly obsolete, and that's why so many WW2 aircraft disappeared so quickly at the end of hostilities.
 
Another aircraft that I would have liked to see was the Supermarine Bomber B12/36. The prototype was destroyed in late 1940. It was designed to have a bombload of around 10-12,000lb at heights greater than the Lancaster with a speed in excess of 320mph.

I realise that these were design figures but, it could have caused a stir in 1940
 
That Bomber sounds similar to the B-24, a bit more load and speed, but probably at the coast of arms and armor

I also feel that the planes disapeared so fast because they were not wanted
 
I think a lot of planes disapeard so fast because of polotical reasons, especially on the German side. But even in the US. If a designer had a friend in high places such as congress his plane would be get chosen if not it would get passed over. Just a theory though.
 
Adler, that happened a lot in Germany and it is true with some in the states. I think it was getting better and if the war went on maybe stardardizing the planes in service would have helped?

But basic huma thinking for a politition, they are who gets me the votes, so they need the jobs. You can think of the base closeing lists the same way.
 

The P-51s AAF "Handeler" the man who was responsable for correcting deficencies and procurement ect was the son of a congressman.
