Favorite B-1-Rd in WWII???

Mustang, it is almost 50/50 with these pilots. The attack on the P-51 was usually from slightly above and without warning. Attacking bombers started about 1000 feet higher from the rear and then diving down with a porpoise motion so they would come just bleow the tail and fire and then soom through the bomber formation. Of course if they had rockets they usually tried to fire while almost line abreast on the tails of the bombers some 1000 yards plus distant......no argument, just pointing out some facts......

My favorite birds are:
My fav American bird is the P-51 Mustang--then my fav German bird is the ME-109. Sorry--I HAD to choose two aircraft.

Aw heck--ill choose more. My fav British bird is the Hawker Hurricane closely followed by the Spitfire MK-4.

 

I picked Me-110... I would love to be shot down in one of those...

 

You know Friedrich.......If I was flying a P-51 and I saw you in an Me.110 or 410 I would not hesitate to shoot you down. Sorry, got to protect those bombers!

 

Nooo - I'd be tempted to escort Friedrich back to his airfield ; problem is, I don't think the Mosquito could actually fly that slow....

 

Who cares! I have air-sickness anyway! I'd rather be inside an U-boat while it is being depth-charged than flying any plane!

And while Mustang in his P-51 and Martin in his Mosquito are being shot down by Erich in his Ta-152, field marshall Friedrich von Hammerstein is anihilating some twelve or so Soviet or American divisions, whatever...

 

Hmmm - Friedrich in a U-Boat ... I could use a Mosquito XVIII 'Tsetse' !

 

That is why I would not have been in a U-boat, but throwing the Brits back to the sea in 1944 and giving them some 100.000 casualties...

 

Perhaps I'd better make a Spitfire MkIX and watch out for Friedrich's staff-car on the Livarot/Vimoutiers road....
