 | Couldn't it be that someone else is posting from the same IP? (I assume you're basing this on IP, right?) I hope I'm not wrong. Would be so stupid of him to get banned this way  Kris

| It isn't even close. Best bomber: B-29. Faster, higher, farther, and more payload. |

| From time to time I read "farther". Is it American English or does it exist next to "further" in British English? Off-topic, I know. Kris

| If you mean best in terms of specification and achievements I'd have to go with the B-29. From a romantic POV, I'd say the Lancaster due to the looks and noise. Also got a soft spot for the B-24, as it's totally ignored in favour of the B-17 |

| There is no argueing about it. Favorite and best are 2 different things. The B-29 is the best bomber of WW2. I do understand what you are saying though. To me the best is the B-17 only because I love what she did and the way she looks but the Best Bomber of WW2 was the B-29.

| My favorite bomber is the Do 217 but I consider the Mosquito and the B-29 the best. I can't chose between them as they are really different class. I think I would go for a compromise: the Mosquito as the best WW2 bomber but the B-29 the best bomber ever (because it lead to the B-50 and Tu-95 and in a way to the B-52). Kris

I even recall the Mosquito suffering the lowest losses of all WW2 bombers. As you mention only heavy bombers, I assume you believe bomb load is what makes the best bomber. According to such a theory, all heavy bombers are better than all medium or light bombers. Kris

The B29 also could carry an atomic bomb which no other aircraft in WW2 could. All of the other bombers were used successfully in the long range maritime patrol role, of which the Mosquito was at a tremendous disadvantage. The B29 and Lanc could also carry mines. The Mosquito's accuracy was good at low altitudes, but no better than any other bomber at mid and high altitudes. Now what were you saying about the Mosquito being the best bomber?
