Yeah the B-17 was also a beauty.

DerAdlerIstGelandet · 03-12-2005, 12:16 PM

I especially the ealier models like the F before they became overloaded with chin turrets and other protruding objects.

cheddar cheese · 03-12-2005, 12:29 PM

I like the additional turrets, the extra guns make it look meaner.

DerAdlerIstGelandet · 03-12-2005, 01:02 PM

I dont know I like the more refined, sleeker, airplane look.

cheddar cheese · 03-12-2005, 01:12 PM

I like both, although I do prefer the sleeker cleaner lines.

DerAdlerIstGelandet · 03-12-2005, 01:28 PM

I know they kind of defeat the purpose of a war bird but as a airplane enthusiast and some one that flys I like the cleaner looks.

mosquitoman · 03-12-2005, 02:48 PM

The best looking 4 engined bomber has to be the Hally MkIII, the nose fairing and clean lines just give it the edge over the Lanc in looks

cheddar cheese · 03-12-2005, 04:13 PM

No, B-29 was far better looking!

As was the Stirling.

mosquitoman · 03-12-2005, 04:20 PM

Nah, the Halibag had much cleaner lines than the Stirling

cheddar cheese · 03-12-2005, 04:24 PM

The Stirling was a beauty. Dont like the Halifax much.

mosquitoman · 03-12-2005, 04:25 PM

Why? it's a great aircraft

DerAdlerIstGelandet · 03-12-2005, 05:27 PM

Dont know too much about British 4 engine bombers. Pretty much just know the basics about them.

cheddar cheese · 03-12-2005, 05:28 PM

All I know is that the Lancaster was brilliant and the the other 2 were kind of also rans that didnt seem to do very many bombing missions.

DerAdlerIstGelandet · 03-12-2005, 06:50 PM

The Lanc was deffinatly a first rate bomber. Its also pretty cool in the fact... Wait are you ready for this it applies to this thread! .... It could be used in countless roles and that shows in the fact that it was used long after the war!

Alright that sounded really stupid the way I wrote it, but I figured its all good to be stupid sometimes.

And, it evolved into the Shackelton.

DerAdler, you are not a troll, very far from being one.
