The TBD may not have been the worst aircraft of the war. But it certainly deserves to be in the running. It was obsolete at the start, contriduted virtually nothing to the Allied war effort, and in its biggest battle it was shot down in droves.
Oh yes it should....
The plane was nothing more than a death trap.
What numb-nuts designs a plane with highly explosive fuels on board and then as its landing gear fits a skid....
The idea behind the Me-163 was interesting, but the volatile fuels and the landing gear configuration were just a dangerous combination. I think as a research aircraft, it would have been one thing, but as a warbird, it was not effective.
Wow, im convinced. Being told it sucked is enough to convince anyone how bad a plane is...use more detail...at least it could fly. The RAF didnt really have anything else to use...
Not only was the Breda 88 poor in its role but it had extremely bad flight characteristics.
didn't anything else to use?? there was absolutly no point in using the ones they did use, they weren't doing anything to stop the germans..............
