Screw the nice weather, I want to live!!  | And please explain how the Carribean would not be better. There are plenty of islands to land on within distance from where you are. The weather is good.

Country: | Interesting choice. I think that would be quite exciting there Erich. If I were to do that I would want to fly a Ju-88C-6 or He-219A-7.

Country: | I'd go for ETO, flying a Tiffy or Mustang with 2nd TAF. That would satsify my adrenaline cravings, and I could still be home for tea Failing that, B17s in Europe

Country: | it's really funny because at one time I thought A-5's and A-7's were filling the bill for I./NJG 1 but was not the case. I really do think that there were more prototypes built than operational Uhu's. Ridiculous.
the older books of all sorts have not done indepth research on the craft and hopeful when a freind from Holland does his I./NJG 1 synopsis that all will be revealed. | |
