Country:  | You misunderstand me, I mean if we sent them from a French airfield. Just because a Spitfire takes off from France it doesn't make it French.
If we were flying from France, I'd go for the Spitfire Mk V.

Country:  | Such interesting. I would say the Ball turret was the worst to be. The b-24 is a good example because of its retractable feature that did not always retract. But that was the bomber to be in!!
As for an esscort if the P-51 would have been used earlier, but I would have only wanted it if it was painted with the Orenge tail markings!

| I think it does look like an elephant actually but i must say i happen to think Elephants are beautiful...in their own grey, wrinkly way
As for tail colours didn't you know they gave you a choice C.C..?
"What are you going to name your bomber captain?"
"Oh i was thinking of 'Peggy Sue' or a name like that with a picture of a half-naked woman sitting on a bomb or something original like that..."
"Really? and what colour would you like the tail to be Captain?"
"Oh i think a nice shade of pink would really scare the Japs!"
Oh yes - the tail colour was very important!
It was to do with different squadrons wasn't it?
