Remember the movie "Those Magnificent Men and Their Flying Machines," there are some great airplanes I'd love to have in SDOE in this movie. Like the one that German General was flying. Maybe I should go rent that again

But my vote goes into any kind of 30s racing plane or an AT-6 Texan.

Like to see more German planes. Or maybe some Russian, or Italian!

WWI Spad VII, XI, XIII

B-24 ( this one's always forgotten)

He-219 (love those nightfighters)

My all-time favorite is the XB-19. Does anyone have a 6ft.x 6ft. scanner? I have blueprints from the Douglas Aircraft Co. for the 1/72 scale build-up model.heheheh

Thanks to all of you out there who are working on aircraft for FS. You guys are really cranking them out fast.
Would be nice to have a contest every month eh?
Imagine all the planes....

T-38 jet trainer - remember the Thunderbirds flew it? This is my favorite jet - I think it would fit in my carriage house!

What a messy list

Mc200, Mc202/205, Sm79
The Fiat Cr32 would make a great advert for Laika's Rata in Spanish Civil War scenarios, and also in early North African missions.
Other interesting aircraft for the African theater: Blenheim MkIV, Beaufighter, Gloster Gladiator, Fiat Cr42 (good match for the latter), Bf 110, Westland Lysander.

Japan
------
ki-100
(basically a better turning version of 109..maybe mposis will be doing this one)
Any japaneese fighter/bomber is up for grabs i think

Britain
--------
The british jet used to intercept V1s.. Comet?

Russia
--------
Sturmovik
LA-5, LA-7
The 4 engine bomber they had can't remember name

And of course the italian MC202

Gloucester Meteor. The Comet was built by De Haviland and was a twin engined passenger/transport post-WWII jet.

I just saw a documentary about the Comet. It was the first jetliner in service, but had safety problems allowing Boeing to get the jump on the british in the passenger jet business. I'm not really hyped about getting to fly a Comet = )

I would like to see a group of aircraft representing what is a transitional period in aicraft design and technology. We have here some WWI era elements like two rifle calibre MGs armament on fighters, biplane, fabric covering, fixed undercarriage etc. mixed with the new era elements like stressed skin construction, low wing cantilever monoplane, retractable undercarriage, enclosed cockpit etc.
All the planes despite representing different worlds in design and technology terms have one common feature: they were flown in combat in WWII so it wouldn't be unrealistic to pitch them against each other in FS.

In SDOE the slower planes could ease "the small theatre inconvenience" , fewer guns = better aim required , some wood employed in the construction = nice yellow flames . Less guns on those bombers = more fun for the fighter boys, everybody knows bombers are not for flying in FS

Last but not least, flying some of these aircraft and watching them fly in SDOE would be the only chance of ever seeing them at all

And the selection of this group in random order is:

1) PZL P.7/11 - 1932/34, (../390km/h), all metal, stressed skin, 2 MGs, very manouverable
2) PZL P.37 Los (Elk), 1937, 440 km/h, 4213kg empty, 8880kg max overload! , 2600 km range
3) PZL P.23/43 Karas ('rather small kind of freshwater fish' , 1936, 320 km/h recco bomber
4) Bf 110
5) Ju 87
6) Junkers Ju 52
6) Polikarpov I-16
7) Gloster Gladiator
8) Fiat C32
9) TsKB 26/DB-3/Ilyushin Il-4, 1937, 410 km/h, two-eng, some wood used in constr.
10) Tupolev TB-3, 1932, 4-eng, 215-288 km/h, up to 5800 kg bombload
11) Tupolev SB-2, 1936, 410-450 km/h, some 600 kg bombload
12) Petlyakov Pe-8, 1939, 4-eng, 451 km/h, 5300kg max bombload, max range of the diesel ver. 4800 km
13) Vickers Wellesley
14) Vickers-Armstrongs Wellington
15) Fairey Battle
16) More Italian types (many of them, just take your pick

Cheers

P-40B and P-40E. Both with AVG paint. These things are great BnZ fighters. Much maligned throughout history but really an effective craft. Nobody, but nobody comes close to that paint either.

One more thing. There seems to be a large number of 'exotic' aircraft either released or in production. That's not to say its a bad thing, just that that 'niche' seems to be well looked-after. So please, whatever you pick, let it be MAINSTREAM.

Here are some more ideas:

Halifax
Wellington
Liberator

We could use a little variety in bombers...
