If you want some P-40 action I suggest watching 1941. It had the best collection of comedy actors with John Belushi playing Capt. Wild Bill Kelso, trying to find the secret Jap airbase in the Pomona Alfalfa fields. 😎

the germans at there retreat with the high ranking one aying Dover?, Dover….., and at the beginning of the movie when Kurt Jurgens comes to see the British Ambassador and tells him that they should surrender or be crushed by Germany, and that England was theirs for the taking, the British Ambassador tells his wife that they are running on Liquid Courage.

I think the real deal for me is this: the people who lived in England during the war want american and british warbirds over the English skies. Many young British, Commonwealth, and American flight crews gave up there lives in order the world could live free. To say that a P-51 is polluting the skies is rubbish, What would you rather have, an American fighter or bomber, or none at all. I wish the American people in general had as much passion for their avaition history as you all do. We can’t even get a sizable donation for our own avaition museum here, becuase no one cares about Consolitdated plants contribution to the war. So in essence the more the better! 😡

Back when the original B-1A was still being developed, the air force toyed with the idea of stretching the F-111 to a crew of four, that plan fizzled. I believe that the air force needs to build a bomber in between the size of say the B-1 and the smaller F-111.

Several years ago they had this bomber it was the B-58 HUSTLER. It was fast, could out run most fighters of that era, could deliver a nuclear load, very sophisticated for its time, but it did have problems structural reliability, avionics were very shady.

But if I were going to build a bomber this is probably the criteria it needs., fast, stealth, carry multipule ordinance packages, and fairly easy to maintain.
