The Breda Ba-88 Lince was the worst, trust me. I like the Breda Ba-88 loads, but it was dreadful. Utterly, hopelessly, completely dreadful.

| I was just reading that at least one pilot of a Komet was literally melted in his seat by fumes from the fuel.
Now I dunno 'bout everyone else, there's worst aircraft of the war and then there's just plain nasty...

Country: | The Blackburn Botha is a contender- underpowered, undergunned and with a useless bombload

Country: | It didn't get a chance to go into battle, it was instantly relegated to pilot training, probably on the basis of "If they can fly this, they can fly anything"
