Yeah, when the engines were on fire

Mosquito was the best 2 engine fighter/bomber ever built in the WWII. It was faster than most of fighters until the near the end of war in Europe, it had bomb load capacity that rivaled B-17, it can conducted low attitude precise bombing, and it was one of most recognized fighters in the war.

Oh, and it was also the most economic fighter as well; it was perhaps last great wood fighter of the 20th century.

Most recognised nightfighters....Despite asking numerous times, Ive yet to see any evidence it was used as a day fighter...

P-38 was better

read up un the exploits of No.23 Squadron, defending Matla by night and day in their F/NF.IIs.................

and day fighting was the only area that the P-38 beats the mossie..............

and i have a picture of a mossie with smoke canisters, which i'm more than willing to show you at school.............

cheddar cheese · 02-20-2005, 07:52 AM

Im not denying that, I was joking.

I dont wanna get into this agument again, it pisses everyoneoff and its obvious no-one is going to change their mind

the lancaster kicks ass · 02-20-2005, 07:53 AM

but i genuinely believe the mossie was the better all rounder than the P-38..........

cheddar cheese · 02-20-2005, 07:58 AM

And I genuinely beleive the P-38 was the better all rounder than the Mossie. But lets not discuss that anymore, it going boring saying the same things over and over again...

2 More planes to compare then?

mosquitoman · 02-20-2005, 07:59 AM

the lancaster kicks ass · 02-20-2005, 08:02 AM
