Country:  | PD, I agree the spitfire was in my mind the greatest plane to come out of Britain, and it was the plane of Buzz Beurling too.

Country: | Fighter: Stuck between F4F3, P38L, and Kingcobra (both the 2 .50 cal, and 4 .50 cal models)
Bomber: Either the Sterling (because its beautiful, and is manueverable for its size at lower altittudes), or the Lancaster/Lincoln
Transport: The Gigantic, or whatever that massive transport Germany made was called; you know, the one that had a massive front loading door, and space to accomodate tanks.
Recon: Black Cat PBY, the other ones were IMHO a little too lightly armed; Maybe the Coranado if it was a bombing mission.
Torpedo: B7A, the last Japanese torpedo plane, which was too late to see service off of air craft carriers, and could do in excess of 300 mph. | |

Country: | Actually, the B.MkI specials were the Grand Slam bombers, you're quite right; the Dambusters were "Provisioning" Lancasters. I need to check at home, where I've got my library, to give you the full, precise type definitions, but that'll do to be going on with.

Country: | it's ok thanks ndicki i'm quite up on my Lancaster designations as it is the 32 "slammers" were produced as Avro 683 Lancaster Mk.I (Sepcial) aircraft so that's what i call them, regardless of some documents calling them B.I (Special), i've never liked the B. designations, and the 23 (i think!) Dambuster lancs were the Avro 683 Lancaster Mk.III Type 464 Provisioning, later returned to standard Mk.III configuration, they retain the Mk.III part of the name because, unlike the Mk.I (Specials) which were actually produced as such, the Type 464s were converted from aircraft with a few hours already on the clocks, they were NOT produced in the dambusting configuration.........

Country: | Me 410 B2 with a BK5 cannon, sat in a 410 and the all round view is great but would have benefited from less weight in the airframe and more power in the engines. | |
