You're Top Poster: #2  | According to a documentary I saw on the top ten best bombers, the Lancaster was 6th! Mosquito was fourth. B52 was numero uno!

You chose dishonor and you will have war." (Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.) What did the Australians do in ww2 and other conflicts?

You're Top Poster: #6  | David, I see Larry took part of my advice at least and installed phpBB, however he really needs to add forum layers like here, if everyone keeps posting all content into 1 forum important threads will get lost

You're Top Poster: #13 | It came sixth because there was no effect gun turret underneath to protect it from the night fighters and the upward pointing cannon in their cockpits.
