| First class pictures.
The HP 0400 did see action in the war and must be the best heavy bomber.
Normal Bomber would be the DH4 fastest thing in the air

Country: | Nice shots GT - Does anyone remember the movie "The Great Waldo Pepper?" At the end of the movie a Camel duels with a DR1, Black with yellow checkers and the name "Lola" on the side. Would love to see a shot of that!

| Bristol Type 20. In 1916 it went 130 mph with a synchronised gun and would have wiped the floor with anything in the air at the time.
The reason the RAF barely used it, because it was a monoplane. It was years ahead of its time and very reliable. RAF incompetence at its worst.
As for the Germans it has to be the Fokker D7. As the only plane mentioned in the Peace Treaty it had to be something special. | |

| Spad XIII
138mph. 235hp. Twin Vickers.
There's better aircraft, but I just wouldn't be able to help myself. It's the grunter, at the end of the day you've always got that. I'd have popped a couple extra vickers on mine for good measure.

Günther: the G-2 was good, very effective in Africa but otherwise the G was too heavy. I didn't like it.
Renata: What about the G-10. They say the Mustang is better but they're liars.
Günther: Yes the G-10 and K-4 were very good.
Me: so what you did during the war?
Günther: Oh I was a guard. Training alsations.
Renata: nothing, I did nothing. | |
