Author	Topic: For that WW2
Gustavo Pilot	posted 06-25- 12:21 PM Why do you prefer the airplanes from the WW2 to the modern airplanes? In my case, it is because I am always interested the WW2 in all their aspects; since I believe that it was like Wagner's work taken to the reality. As for the airplanes, they also have a style that no other modern airplane can overcome; and they were also the last ones in carrying out true air bereavements. Por qué ustedes prefieren los aviones de la WW2 a los aviones modernos? En mi caso, es porque siempre me intereso la WW2 en todos sus aspectos; ya que creo que fue como una obra de Wagner llevada a la realidad. En cuanto a los aviones, ademas tienen un estilo que ningún otro avión moderno puede superar; y también fueron los últimos en realizar verdaderos duelos aéreos.

Biggles Pilot	posted 06-26- 06:59 AM I'm with you Gustavo, Most planes from that whole era (1930's and 40's) just ooozed class You'll never find classics like that anymore Though, in 50 years time, they'll probably be saying the same thing about todays modern aircraft Biggles IP: Logged
Werner Molders JAG	posted 06-26- 08:51 AM WWII planes had the best elements of the drama of WWI dogfights but with better technology in their planes. It was the perfect balance of drama and design - with today's technology those same kind of dogfights where you could see the other person's face are lost. That's not to say modern air combat is any less interesting or that the lethality is reduced because you can't see your opponent, but it just isn't the same as WW2 flying.

Jerry Pilot	posted 06-26- 10:56 AM I think one of the appeals of WWII aircraft is that they represent state of the art technology when it comes to propeller driven planes. Even today, we would be hard-pressed to build a propeller combat plane that could out perform a WWII fighter. They were the end of an era. And you flew them rather than them flying you like in today's fly-by-wires. IP: Logged
