Country:  | For the A-26 fans, I do not think they came into the war that late. Introduced in the ETO in November of 1944, they would have been able to help in the end game. Yes that was not a great operational life like say the B-24 of the Spit. But the A-26 had a great and proud history and the airframe stayed in use until the 1960s and after. :P
Lanc, I might have to a gree that i am not shure how the Stirling was better then the Lanc, but the post was as C.C said "he liked it". That said the Stirling had a good payload, but poor range as I can find out.

Country:  | it had a good payload but 'cos of the design of the bomb bay, it couldn't carry differing loads..................

Country: | I might be wrong thanks all, I should be reading more. But there is somthing that just rubs me the wrong way about the Stirling. The wings angle was very high and landing that must of been hard. Any info on that?

| The Axis of course
Yes, the Brits had the Spitfire, Gladiator and all the others, but the Germans were the first to develope a Jet propelled Interceptor fighter... This would be the main reason I would say Axis. The Me262 and the Komet Me163 are the only reasons I would have chosen the Axis. This was a very diffucult decision, but the jetplanes just did it for me... Preferences, I guess | |

Country: | Well all Hello to the new member KometLover. I cannot say i agree with you on the comet, bybe the 262. But yes the RAF jet was not up to the Germans. That said the USAAF was not even as good as the Brits.
How can the Stirling be anyless ugly then the Lancaster?

Country: | plan_D, the way i interpret that message is as follows: the british and the germans developed a jet and the russians put it in service...
