While looking I found this for the Lanc - clearly shows the trio of fuel / bombload / range [IMG]
Inspired by discussions in the 'best of the best' topic. When discussing bombers, stats regarding range and bombload are often used to claim...
Vichy was never neutral according to Britain, who were the ones enforcing the blockade. They announced the extension of their blockade to cover...
From memory the altitude change was due to the weather (cloud and high winds) over Japan throwing off the aim, rather than any fault of the bomber...
Evidence found of German mass execution by French Resistance after D-Day
I'd like to put in a bid for the best armoured car (for scouting, not fighting) of WW2 - the Daimler Dingo I could wax lyrical about its advanced...

I do have suggestions for the worst bomber: The Polish LWS-6 Zubr - a bomber so bad it couldn't take off with a bomb load, and tended to fall...
Picking out a few points - Bomber classifications are always tricky, because as noted it is a moving goalpost. The Blenhiem could carry 1,000lb...

Minor pedant moment - all the replies above are stictly speaking about aircraft with an Inverted Gull Wing (though I assume that is what the OP...
If selling arms counts, then almost every war since the Industrial Revolution counts as a World War, and the distinction becomes meaningless....
To my mind (for what that is worth!) there is a difference between a World War and a Global War. A Global War is a continental war that is fought...
As a warning, the original poster was a bit of a fantasist, if he stated gravity made things fall you're better off checking
Selling or donating arms doesn't count as involvement, surely
A nice looking Spitfire!
It is an interesting question, because first you have to define what a 'world war' is. Simply back tracking to find the earliest date any of the...
Just a few notes on the points raised Firstly, and apologies if you all knew this, the Naval 88s were not the same as the land-based Flak / Pak /...
Apparently the Fairey Swordfish gave the gunners on the Bismark similar problems
In December 1942, the answer is Fw190. However, from 1939-1942 as an overall time period, I'd suggest Spitfire. It was consistently a top...
