Think I'd like to be in a B-17 over Europe. One thing for sure, the Germans
were more humane than the Japanese, if you were captured.

Yeah but i agree. The ETO would have been much better. In the PTO, theres the chance that you drown in water (not good) be captured by the Japanese (even worse) and the Germans were more human. Plus its not as hot :].
I'm thinking i would like a P-51 in ETO! Mostly cause its pretty cool!

Since I am British a navy buff, I would probably fly for Coastal Command or the FAA in the Med, better chance of getting picked up there before freezing your b**t in the North sea/Atlantic/White Sea

i would fly a jug of FAB´s 1° GavCa at europe, making ground attack missions at italian front.
there was also some brazilians in luftwaffe, but german descendents. dont think as an austrian-hungarian´s grandson they allow me to fly there. also i would not like to fight for hitler.
but if allies captures a Bf-109 in italy, i would like to fly it, i like the 109´s they are a awsome planes and their engines makes a great and nice noise.
in russian front i wouldnt want to fly lollll i respect the brave russians but not interested in being just more one number of adolf galand personal records !
maybe a t-34 crewmember would fits fine...
lollll

I would hate being in a tank, just a crockpot.
Certainly for me I would be in the PTO flying Corsairs. Not many planes better than that!

I would had flown in the ETO from early 1944 until the war's end (if I had survived) as a escort fighter flying either the P-51 or the P-47 (the P-38 was a great fighter but I don't think I could have get used to a two-engine fighter) and the reason a simple one: protect those brave bomber crews with my life.

56th group, ETO. That way I would have survived the war, and in anyThunderbolt book you would have seen pictures of my plane shot to crap, but bellied in at home base. With maybe 2 kills under the windscreen.

PTO of course, flying F6F Hellcat from USS Lexington CV-16 against Japanese.
Eventually, flying A6M2 from Lae (Tainan Kokutai) against Port Moresby.
