Allied Intelligence had learned from prisoner interrogations that a Ju 390 had been delivered in January 1944 to Fernaufklärungsgruppe 5, based at Mont-de-Marsan near Bordeaux and that it had completed a 32-hour reconnaissance flight to within 19 km (12 mi) of the U.S. coast, north of New York City.

Brayden James
Yeah that claim was debunked a while back

>reconnaissance plane
Best WW II bomber.
Ethan Morris
That's quite ridiculous range. Wonder how heavy bomb load the bomber version could have carried and how far.
Some of the German bombers were very good looking.
James Morales
B-25
Anthony Ramirez
Gabriel Bennett
B-29 & de Havilland Mosquito
most aesthetic was He 111 though
Jacob Roberts
What do you think of the Flying Dragon?
Bentley Perez
It's easy to say that the best heavy bomber of the war is the B-29 Superfortress, but what would be a good runner up?
Thomas Moore
>WWII
Why limit yourself?
Juan Barnes
B-32 or some German plane which didn't get to production.
If you want a bomber which also bombed a lot, then Lancaster.
Jaxon Powell
Lancaster, B-17, B-24, Pe-8, He 177
Easton Green
Except at the time of the supposed flight, the only Ju390 built was V1 which couldn't handle the extra weight necessary to fly to NY and back. Pretty sure it would have been overloaded by 20,000lbs or so.
Nolan Jenkins
Piaggio P.108 had excellent characteristics but strategic bombing was a very small part in Italian war strategy.
FW 200 was most beautiful but it was more of a maritime bomber.
Joseph Wilson
No reason to be a Russian if you can't take off at 1:20 youtube.com
Liam Harris
Lancaster was the most successful, B29 was the most technologically advanced.
Carter Howard
Asher Brooks
>most technologically advanced.
Lol no, not even close. It did what it was designed for, Germans had the most advanced one but couldn't mass produce them.
Thomas Clark
Which were?
Samuel Hughes
Arados for example? They also had some light bombers with pressure equalization and some other shit.
Adrian Morales
>He 177
The Greif was a horrendous piece of shit.
Jaxson Richardson
the main production version was ok
Alexander Garcia
Shit range, shit payload, no defences, worse at high altitude.
The Germans didn't have anything in existence that could compete. Germany couldnt into heavy bombers.
Joseph Smith
I have a picture of the technical data, the A-1 could carry 9500 kg of bombs in the Transporter config. 4 External pylons with 2500 kg capacity each
Colton Price
you all know this is the one you'd want to fly if you had the choice.
Noah Martinez
Wasn't Arado for a different role from the begin with? He 177 and Me 264 were proper heavy bombers.
The thing also has the bad guy look doesn't it?
Mason Murphy
Used into Vietnam
Isaiah Moore
Out of tactical bombers, A-20. Fast, nimble, cheap, carried a reasonable load with good range. Also had nice attack variants. Pe-2, Ju 88, B-26 and B-25 also there but out of them all A-20 is imho most versatile, and also fastest(after nitro Ju 88s)
Levi Johnson
I love blum und voss and their abortions
Joseph Jackson
>deliberately ignoring the best of them all
Chase Hall
Mosquito is overrated
Jack Russell
P-38 > moshito
Nolan Ross
let me know when the p38 flies to berlin and back with a bomb load.
They arent even close to being in the same league.
no, you just think that because you have something against brits probably. Mosquito was comfortably the most versatile aircraft in ww2.
Xavier Moore
right on
also ghostly mosquito story
youtube.com
Brayden Bell
Most versatile aircraft? Debatable. I was talking about tactical bombers.
Hunter Ross
lol idiot
Christian Evans
Debate it then. Name another aircraft that could do photo recon, day bomber, night bomber, nuisance bombing and target marking, maritime strike, anti-submarine patrol, close air support, high-value fast transport, night fighter and night intruder tasks all in the same airframe. I'd argue that the Mosquito is quite easily the single most versatile and successful twin-engine aircraft of WW2.
Easton Jones
Ju 88. Mosquito had much better survivability in daylight though(not counting the nitro-oxide boost Ju 88 S that was faster than many Spitfires and was used to bomb and photorecce England in 1944).
But thats still besides the point, good dedicated bombers introduced about the same time were usually better in that role than (smaller and lighter) multipurpose aircraft like Mosquito because, unsurprisingly, they never tried to do everything with one airframe. Mosquito has quite limited bomb load and no gunners(defensive formations are of little use to it).
Robert Sanchez
That abortion was designed for the Indiana Jones film.
Brandon Richardson
4000lb is limited by modern standards, but by ww2 standards pretty damn good
Aiden Martinez
The engines were still a fucking nightmare.
Blake King
Twice the bomb-load and range of the B-17
Dam Buster raid
Carried earthquake bombs that fucked up otherwise impregnable U-Boat pens
Sank the Bismarck's sister-ship Tirpitz
reduced entire cities to ash
It was good at bombing is I suppose what I'm trying to convey
Jackson Ward
In another example of the daylight precision raids carried out by the Mosquitos of Nos. 105 and 139 Squadrons, on 30 January 1943, the 10th anniversary of the Nazis' seizure of power, a morning Mosquito attack knocked out the main Berlin broadcasting station while Commander in Chief Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring was speaking, putting his speech off the air. A second sortie in the afternoon inconvenienced another speech, by Goebbels. Lecturing a group of German aircraft manufacturers, Göring said:
In 1940 I could at least fly as far as Glasgow in most of my aircraft, but not now! It makes me furious when I see the Mosquito. I turn green and yellow with envy. The British, who can afford aluminium better than we can, knock together a beautiful wooden aircraft that every piano factory over there is building, and they give it a speed which they have now increased yet again. What do you make of that? There is nothing the British do not have. They have the geniuses and we have the nincompoops. After the war is over I'm going to buy a British radio set – then at least I'll own something that has always worked.
Camden Parker
Some Germans looked at the records and found the aircraft was actually in Prague for testing.
Ethan Jones
why is the Stuka dive whistle so heavily meme'd ?
Levi Long
The Ju-87 will always have a place in my heart. A shame that dive bombing died off so quickly
Joshua Anderson
>A shame
It's now a shame that we have more precision ordnance? That was the entire point of dive-bombing.
Alexander Walker
Yeah, because dive bombers are really fucking cool
Brody Ramirez
Ground attack aircraft are still a thing, be thankful.
Joseph Hernandez
But they're not as cool anymore. Style >>> substance
