Worst Aircraft of WWII

One in three Texans are fat.

Take a look at the Curtiss S03C Seamew. Admiral Halsey had them removed from fleet duty and replaced by the earlier, and proven Curtiss SOC Seagull biplane, the plane the Seamew was meant to replace. The SOC was the only USN non utility class biplane to see continuous service in all theaters during wwii.

Hey dinos7, great pic of a 190!

OK, no takers on the Zubr, so maybe we could discuss the Fisher P-75. It was conceived as a way to use up spare parts. Outer wings of a P-40, P-40 canopy, Dauntless vertical tail, plus more cannibalization. By the time they made it into a viable aircraft, it was a completely new design.

One last great characteristic of the P-75 ... it was so ugly they'd have to tie a roast beef to it to get a dog to sit nearby.

That thing is so ugly the rivets pop off of it in an attempt to escape...

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

i don't think any fighter pilots would really be boasting about flying that...thing.............

 

[cheddar cheese]

Ok lanc how can you call that ugly and not french bombers...thats better looking that ANY 1930's French bomber...

 

[P38 Pilot]

I know! The bombers are like flying shoeboxes than they are aircraft! Its as if the French wanted to bomb Germany with shoes...

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Okay......

 

[P38 Pilot]

Yeah, crappy jokes but you know those French....

Crazy son of bitches.....

 

[Chriss1958]

Toss up between the Armstrong Whitworth Albemarle or the SARO Lerwick. Both a complete waste of money and effort.

 

[mosquitoman]

The Albermarle wasn't, it became a very useful glider tower but should have been used as a bomber IMO

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

it was a bit big for that though, dissapointing performance too, plus the noseweel was a bit too revolutionary for the RAF, and try telling the downed airmen the Lerwick saved that she was a waste of money........
