Country:  | Thanks Lanc! I know that means a lot from you, thought you would bash the B-17 any chance you have. Question why do you dislike it? Also what USAAF bomber do you like?

Country: | The bomber was developed for the fast pacific, but would have been put into the ETO I think. Hell Yes the Germans would have been bombed! It might have been a harder choice or had to been done with more tact or a warning, but as it was when the project was on line Germany was done. They were surendering faster then GI's could take them to the pens. That said the ETO was being well served by the B-17s, B-26, Halifax, and Lancaster, and others so why add a new aircraft and move all the vetern crews to it, when you just send it to the Pacific where it can do a great job. But it did take its lumps and the B-24s made the B-29 look good by helkping the Leathernecks take Iwo. :P

Country: | That was part of the thinking I have read about the use of the B-29 in the ETO. But mostly I have to think that the war was already almost over when the B-29 was ready to join.
Question, how would I put a pic on my sig such as yours?

Country: | Lancaster, thanks. I need to get the URL, then I will ask you again. I might be able to figure it out, but asking is never bad. Question dose it matter if the pic is copyrighted?

Country: | Thanks C.C, from the other post I figured it out. It was a little work, but now, I hope you all like it.
C.C, both being online at the same time we talked over a few throeads, to get this fixed. But now the pic is in and you all have seen what site it is from as well probable.
Now a bit back to the topic, any one have thoughts on the Halifax? I think it was underrated and loved, like the B-24
Question did it ever have a venteril gun? I know the Lancaster did, but was removed when they went to all or mostly night ops.
