What was the One Thing that won WWII?

[the lancaster kicks ass]

well we already know the lancaster could have done it....................

 

[cheddar cheese]

probably wouldnt have....but could have

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

we're never gonna resolve this.................

 

[cheddar cheese]

not with me around anyway

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

although it could have done it...............

 

[lesofprimus]

Coulda, Shoulda, Woulda...

But didnt...

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

a fact we must be thankful for.................

 

[lesofprimus]

Amen...

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

you weren't here for the big argument we had a while back about this, it was funny

 

[lesofprimus]

I would assume so...

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

i can't relly remember what the sides where, i think i was the only one fighting for the lancaster.................

 

[cheddar cheese]

probably, i hope so, i will have to shoot anyone else that was on your side

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

with what, you couldn't hit that glass bottle with my air rifle, i managed to hit it forst time, and i can hit a table at around 1000yds................

 

[Gemhorse]

You weren't the only one fighting for the Lancaster, Lanc.....

 

[Lightning Guy]

Well I was the one arguing that the Lanc not only wouldn't have done it, but it couldn't have done it. At least it couldn't have done it and survived.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

but we all agreed it could have done it, but the B-29 would have been the first choice................

 

[Lightning Guy]

I suppose a Lanc could have dropped the bomb . . . it just would have been destroyed in the resultant explosion. Ever the higher-flying and faster B-29 had to initiate a diving turn to escape the blast radius.

 

[lesofprimus]

And there was a very high chance that the -29 was going to be destroyed, even with the diving turn, or irradiated to the point of death for all the occupants...

 

[Lightning Guy]

So what chance did the Lanc have? As I've mentioned before, the RAF had serious doubts about trying to use the Lincoln as a nuclear bomber. Certainly the Lancaster would have been even more suspect.

 

[lesofprimus]

I agree 100%.... There is no way the Lanc could have dropped an atomic and live to tell about it...
