You guys are better off following this one.

Pretty much all you would want to know about Watson's Whizzers.


C'mon Pampa...Another 2011 retread...You better than this. But, I guess not.

 

One of the main and most important Allied bombers, the B-17 was sparked interest and greed target of Germans and Japanese during WW2. Inevitably some planes were captured and tested by the enemy. I share with you the link below that has some photos of these planes, some rare, with German and Japanese markings. To see the photos, visit the link below:

Move along, nothing to see here...just another rehashed link from 2011, and he already made a thread for this last April, we're tired of your spam pampa.

 

Hi everyone.

The need has promoted an unlikely combination during WW2, a small plane and a heavyweight bomb. We are talking of dH Mosquito and blockbuster bombs used by the Royal Air Force. The link below provides an interesting collection of photos, some of which I had never seen before, this unusual combination. It is worth visiting and I hope you enjoy.

Move along folks...Another blast from the 2011 past.

 

I share with you some photos of a Boeing B-17 bomber with an exotic and unusual camouflage. Does anyone know if this plane entered service and what the function of this painting? I count on your visit.

It's not camouflage, it's an assembly plane used as a visual reference for the assembly of bomb formations. Each group had a different marked aircraft. They were usually older aircraft that had been on combat missions, sometimes damaged and repaired, and were not worth updating to new standards. Spotted Cow was the assembly plane for the 384th Bomb Group.

 

Just don't reply. It's just click bait to get traffic to his often inaccurate website.

B-17F Flying Fortress aircraft 'Spotted Cow', assembly ship of 384th Bomber Group, 547th Bomber Squadron, based in RAF Grafton Underwood, Northamptonshire, England, UK, 1943.

 

Yep, He knows darn well what it is already.

 

No offense Fred...But did you get that by reading the web address in the OP?
"aviacaoemfloripa.blogspot.com.br/2011/01/boeing-b-17-flying-fortress-spotted-cow"

 

Not a chance. Normal search find. Visitors can see better information about what that is about without going to that website.

 

I've read that the aircraft painted up like theses were referred to as "sacrificial lambs". The name obviously came from it's outlandish paint scheme as to draw attention, hopefully from friendlies and not bandits.

 

The link below provides a full report and pictures of one of the fastest aircraft of its class, but never went into production. We are talking about the Heinkel He 119. If it had been produced and participated in WW2 its performance would have changed in some way the course of the war? What do you think? Click on the link below and take your own conclusions.

A most interesting experimental plane, . the twined joined MB 600 engines gave it good speed, slightly faster than the early Spitfires and DB 109's in a straight line at maximum speed but the Mosquito, in it's class, was faster. It appears to be very complicated. It's cruising speed of 510 km/h with a 1000 kg is simple not exceptional enough to be a war changer. Probably why bis was never developed further by the Germans nor Japanese who were given two.

Visibility to the rear seems poor as does it's armament of a single MG 34.

But as an experiment it is pretty intriguing.

 

Hmm Not as good as a Mosquito and catchable by a Hurricane or Spitfire. Little better than the Ju88 and slower than the Mw110, which could also haul 1000kg. It also depended on a coupled engine which the Germans could not make work for the He177/ Not a great bet for the Luftwaffe

 

I share with you some pictures of aircraft applied with camouflage called Barclay. A question, does this camouflage was used operationally or only a test? To see the photos, please visit the link below.

You know the answer to that already Pampa, and you are not fooling anyone.

Your blogpost is from 2011...again.

 

I must admit though, those are new photos for me, and the camouflage is cool.
