#212 | | | Um, the Lancaster made 40,000 daylight sorties - big difference.
Most of these were at the very end of the war when there was little Luftwaffe' opposition, or into Northern France or Italy where at least temporary air supremancy could be obtained earlier in the war.

I always thought that Lanc quite fancies things flying up his ass. The Lancaster would be his obvious choice.

Country:  | GT, the B-24 was created for range and that wing, thin Mr. Davis had a great vision for the design. the wing worked and the aircraft was used for everything the air core and Navey could come up with.
I am a little sad for this heavy Lancaster bashing even though I am not a great fan

Country: | People of the female variety.
MP, a couple of women do post on the site, "The Jagdflieger Pips" and "Crippen". However they have a tendecy to post more in the Off-Topic section that on the Aviation related topics.
