I think the IL2 was a better plane by far but as far as looks go...the P-108 is better looking than the IL2 (russian planes on the whole are ugly  )

| I don't think they had much trouble in them - obviously they ran out of fuel very quickly and had to be guided back to earth but i don't think there were too many casualties...i know the fuel mixture was HIGHLY unstable but when they did explode they destroyed the aircraft completely and the pilot would die instantly - they needed more armour really- if a B-17 gunner got one good fluke hit...its goodbye German!

| and it would be a fluke hit too
personally though ive always liked the 163, they tried to rectify its shortcomings though with the 263, but that never actually saw service

| I recently saw a story somewhere where the Germans had a Condor fly nonstop from Germany to New York's airspace and back to Germany. Did anybody else see this article ? | |
