Give me a ME 109 or a FW 190 any day.

There are as yet undiscovered hill tribes in Borneo who knew you were going to say that.

I love that clip. De Cadenet probably doesn't though.

The RV series of homebuilts are awesome as well.

Quig, I know you are just doing it to wind me up. So be it. For the record, these boys won.

Can you just imagine flying a plane in combat made out of some wooden sticks and canvas cloth, going into a dive to evade the guy firing at you at you on your tail and watching the canvas fabric tear off the upper wings of your Nieuport 28? Thank god the Spad's arrived. Now hem boys had some bigg ones!

Cheers to the like of Maj. Raoul Lufberry!

They might have won viges, but it doesn't mean they made the best planes, it just means they had american resources at their disposal. Before the yanks joined, thinks were looking a little more bleak for the RAF. ;)

Give me an ME262 anyday please, sex in the sky. :cool:

Thanks for bringing that up - I did not want to make Viges cry.

However, you cannot take away the spirit and balls the Limey pilots had - same for their ground troops - during WWII.

Too bad the best and the brightest did not survive the war.
