The SBD and TBM were better than the Lancaster, B-17, and P-108, so why bother knowing which bomber is the next best?

I think out of all of this both the Lancaster and the B-17 are just as good as each other. Just like the SBD, Sallys, TBM, Swordfish etc...

It doesnt really matter,remember most american planes in ww2 had double row radial engines that put out almost 2500 hp.the 17 only had 4 single row 1200 hp engines,if they made them with double radials it and modifi the bomb bay to be bigger it could probually hold more than the lanc.But yes it is sad because the A1-skyradier (one of my favorite planes)with a single engine could hold more than a b- 17.
