Country:  | Makes sense, Adler. If given a choice today which I would prefer to fly if given that chance, I would still take the Mosquito. I have always loved that airplane. I like the Lanc too, but not as much as the Mossie.

| Haha, my vote would be for the Mosquito, depending on the time of the conflict in which were discussing. After 1944 i would rather fly stirlings in the glider/target tug role, avoiding combat when possible, but any time before then it would have to be the mossie. Dont mean to sound like a coward, but if i had a family to go home to, i would be thinking more about seeing them again, instead of bombing the germans. | |

Country:  | Somehow I think this vote will be just a little wieghted in the Mossies favour. I would want to be able to crank up those merlins and head for the hills if things got a bit too hot all the other listed aircraft are relitive sitting ducks to enemy fighter attack by comparison.

Country: | Of the aircraft up there the Mossie is deffinatly the best of the bunch, however I would take one of the big heavies. Theres just something glamourous about it, even though it is a death trap.

Country: | Guess my choice
2nd choice would be the Whitley, I don't know why but I've always liked it's looks.
If I wanted to get myself killed though, I'd jump into a Battle
