Also why would you choose a B-24 over a B-17?

Guy's a ball turret gunner in a 17 during WWII, but before the war, he wanted to be a cartoonist. He found out that if he believed in the pictures he drew, hard enough, they'd actually come to life. Anyway, his turret gets stuck after the plane takes some schrapnel and it also damages the landing gear. So much so, that it won't come down. One of the crew tells him to draw the airplane and then draw big tires under it and see if he can make them appear. Long story, short, big fat cartoon wheels come out and saves the plane and crew from crash landing. I believe Kiefer Sutherland played the pilot of that plane. Great show. Too bad its still not on. ---------------------------------------- KK89, Exactly my point. Elvis | |

| Hello Elvis, Hmmmm….. could explain why the Allies won the war, let me check with my “contact” in Roosevelt’s former super secret organization. Worst a/c? from what I read it could have been the Me210? Didn’t proof to be reliable, flyable and wasted precious recourses in all fields. Maybe even contributed mainly to the hindrance of developing a/c such as a Ta154 or Ta152 in time? Regards Kruska Regards Kruska

| Naw, the B-17 wasn't the worst...the Spitfire was, or maybe the Mustang...or was it the FW-190? Anyway, it wasn't the B-17. |

| They through that discussion and it was only with the sand filters that the Bs.88 was totally useless, but either way it was still pretty bad. |

Kruska, I'm with you on the 210. Even the first flight, the pilot deemed it a death trap. At least until they lengthened the fuselage and change the tail alittle. Always wondered if it was a sick Luftwaffe joke sending them to Bulgaria.
