Country: | Pacific theatre for me. Call me hell bent or whatever, but you attack American soil (/ships) WHILE saying your at peace with America, YOUR GOING DOWN!!! That, and I would be able to fly in the same theatre as Bong. ::Salivates:: 19+ aircraft to personal record... now that would be nice, plus I would have to worry too much about my rounds landing in a specific area on a Japanese plane, I could just plug away with .50 cals and watch the fireworks. | |

Country:  | I would say the European theatre. Youd have more chance of being kept alive by the Germans than the Japs. And the naval fighters just dont do it for me.

Country: | Africa for me! It did not say where in Africa, and as I have absolutely no intention of turning some corner of a foreign field into forever England, Southern Rhodesia sounds just the thing. I could spend the entire war in a nice, civilized place, speeding glum heroes down the line after teaching them to fly Harvards. Just the ticket!

Country:  | You kind of have to look at this way. The Japs looked at capture and surrendure as weakness so you were ****** if you were captured. The Germans for the most part gave you the:
"Vell Vell Flyboy it looks like ze waar is offer for u. U vill be enjoying vine graass soop and ersatz kaffee, ja? Ve hope u vill enjoy your staay in ze Vaterland, ja."

Very nasty.
Having said that, many RAF fliers were helped by the French, and managed as a result to get back to Britain to carry on the good work.

Country: | i would pick Africa as Australia is 2/3 desert, but if i came to a real choice what is better dying of thirst in a desert after getting shot down or getting eaten by sharks or salt water crocodiles around borneo or captured by Japanese, you would stand better chance with the crocodiles and sharks or getting shot down over europe and hopefuly not fall into the hands of the gestapo. buggar the views it isn't a scenery flight. you would be there for a reason not a vacation trip | |
