Good point Erich. I wonder if all of those were shot down by Mustangs?.... :D ;)
Erich I told you that you're not supposed to make the P-51 look bad!!! ;) Hey, who am I kidding, you're just stating the facts. Anyway, you...
Nice picture of Claire Friedrich. :cool: Wasn't he the guy who passed the M-15 semi-automatic gun into service even though the government tried...
Mp38, that must've taken a lot of balls. I hear that the Seafire was even harder to land though. Wouldn't doubt it. Simply because it's brother...
Most Russian planes didn't have very heavy artillery or whole lot of ammo. Which is why they aren't really considered when talking about the best...
The Spitfire was an Me 190 killing machine. The only plane the Spitfire had real trouble with was the Fw 190. The Mustang took care of that...
When did the 262 first start performing operations? If March 1945 was the first time the bomber squadron had seen a 262 then it really didn't have...
The Lavochkins were good planes too, but I think that the Yaks were better and had a bigger impact on the war too.
If I was flying a bomber I sure wouldn't want to come across an Me.262. All those rockets!!! :eek: I probably wouldn't want to see one even if I...
Thanks Erich. Those guys must've had a lot of guts!!!
SSSssshhhhh Erich. You're not supposed to make the Mustang look bad. ;) You did it twice. :( When did the Ta-152 first come into service....
Aw man you are SSSssooo lucky. I only get about airshow a year too, but no Mustangs. :( Mustangs are so beautiful.
I think that the Naval Medal of Honor looks different from the one that C. Evans wears too. ;)
It's a dream doc. Just a dream. I could probably get a Ford Mustang though. :D Or set up a Ranch and feed the Mustangs. ;) Those P-51's...
Thanks Panzerknacker. Redcoat, that was an AWESOME post. It does make you wonder though, whether or not aces were really aces. Getting friendly...
The Il-2 was more of a ground attack tank killer. I have to agree, it really does depend on which Yak was produced in larger numbers. There really...
I've never heard of an Me. 410. Just how fast did the Ta-152 go? I really don't think that it was the fastest single-engine fighter of the war. If...
I didn't know that the Corsair flew with the RN. I guess you learn something new everyday. :D I would say the Corsair too, but I'd like to...
I agree with you 100%. The F6F was definetely more of a carrier based fighter because the F4U had a very high landing speed and the pilot had a...
Nice photos. :cool:
