| I voted for the Wimpy but it's actually rather hard to compare the two as they were designed for different roles. The He-111 was primarily a tactical bomber while the Wellington was intended to fly strategic missions from the outset.

Country: | Were the Ships in the Dam that the Dambusters got? Then the Ones that got the dam were Dambusters, and the ones that got the ships were ship busters...

| How can you have a ship in a dam? A ship goes it water and a dam is made (typically) of steel and concrete.

Country:  | I think he may be referring to either:
A ship that is in the lake that a dam makes, and is destroyed when the dam blows...
OR...
A ship is parked in front of a dam and the dam blows and the ship is destroyed...
Either one makes ZERO sense to me and I agree with u whole heartedly....
