| I don't think the Wellington can be considered superior to the Lanc in any respect. I love the Wimpy but it's going to lose out in speed, range, payload, defensive armament, and the fact that the Lanc completely replaced it.

| Translation: If the Germans had the P.108 it might have turned into a halfway decent aircraft, with the Italians it was junk.
