Country: | OOO lordy what to pick! I have been away for a very long time and am now trying to get myself all back togehter.
As for the aircft, why not a seaplane, patrolling off the Maine coast protecting convoys or trainig pilots.
I have so much to pick from on this list, maybe a staff pilot

Country: | As per my previous post on this topic, the reason I would chose a dive bomber is because I could have someone watch my back and see what I might miss while I go blow stuff up, and shoot anything enemy related in my way. Maybe this fits the fighterbomber mentality more, but I have always liked the dive bombers. | |

James. | I too picked Bf-109s but I would have taken a G-6 or K-4 under Erich Hartmanns group.
