| I think the Americans mostly used the Mossie for photo-recon. Maybe a few nightfighters but that's about it. And the B-29 was easily the best bomber of the war.

Country:  | C.C. you should change your flag, or be posting more Ruggian aircraft! Say an A-20 with a read Star
This is a bomber thread so why that fighter being shown? Yes it was needed, but you could replace it with a bomber, even a Lanc
Sorry I just read, you did but one up, but it missed.

| Better speed, range, altitude, bomb load, bomb sight, and defensive armament than the Lanc. And, by the way, was pressurized. B-29 was the best of the war.
