Country:  | Nice list Lanc. I am surprised that you actually selected a non-English made airplane. Impressive!
For me
Bomber: Lancaster (FBJ made a good point about the B-29 being difficult and costly to repair) The load carrying capability is the main reason
Light Attack/Bomber: B-25 Mitchell
Fighter Bomber: Tough call, either the P-47 or the Corsair
Interceptor: F8F Bearcat

Country: | Oops, you're right, I forgot about that stipulation. Tough call then, double up on the P-47 or maybe select the Hellcat for interceptor.

Country: | We ARE a non-profit organization! So we have limitations. But as far as advanced hardware, there really isn't any. It's just one big honking engine with a fuselage and wings attached. Nothing crazy.

Country: | CC there's nothing "third world" about cornwall, not only do we have some of the most modern buildings in the world, we have some of the most innovative technology including break through ways of generating electricity, and a business broadband system better than most major cities.......
