Definitely evolving towards the me262…

@mikeynth7919 the p39 had Supercharger issues or lack thereof …. Plus it was designed around that cannon …which eventually found a home in Russia … I think it was one of the favorite lend lease aircraft or maybe the A-20

Well done 👍….thanks Ed Nash … but still no sliding canopy… it’s a good thing they didn’t put those engines into full scale production on the FW 190 …

I curious as to the author’s opinion on the Supermarine type 317 Bomber … would it have been a great aircraft … if the prototype hadn’t been destroyed by bombing in 1940 … Thanks

@EdNashsMilitaryMatters thanks 😊 that’s what I figured … Really points to the loss of Reginald Mitchell … it’s tough when you loose one of the greats

@jebise1126 indeed the chunky p-47 with turbo supercharger was almost unbeatable once they put a paddle prop on it …. The Fw190 was better of a war horse than the 109 and the Dora version was the one of the best at high altitude … part of their success was the variable speed supercharger …. And of course the Genius of Kurt Tank and that Diemler Engine…

@luisgimenez8660 Now I gotta rewatch the episode about the 190 D-9 version on Greg’sAircraft & Automobiles …I’m surprised our government didn’t grab Kurt Tank and give him a job After the war
