Best aircraft of that era, Deutschland Uber alles.

As an American, I would like to apologize to all for 'fluffer1931' rude and harassing remarks. We are not all "ugly americans" and he does not reflect the thoughts of the average well educated U.S. citizen.

g10 outclassed every spitfire, and most of the p51, allmost all. G10 is one of the best fighters of ww2

[doktorbimmer]

Before anyone comments on my previous post, in addition.. I deliberately excluded the P-51H and F8 from the discussion because they were not considered as having combat service before the war ended and although the Do-335 had no kills on record it was undoubtably used in armed missions during the war, it was included on that basis. The special constructed Messerschmitt Bf-109R that did in fact hold the Official Air Speed Record of 469mph 1939-1969 can not really be considered a combat aircraft.

@doktorbimmer No worries at all...I love people that are plane-crazy! I'm not sure about the numbers but the Mosquito was made in the thousands and it's my understanding only a very few 335's were operational. The FW 190-D9 long nose was something else! And if time permitted the Bearcat and Tigercat for the matter, would have tore up the Pacific Theater! Thanks for the reply!

[doktorbimmer]

@DickLodge68 No worries mate.. its all good. The Mosquito was still a great plane and damn fast.. more versatile, reliable and forgiving than the P-38 too. I will agree... if not ugly, the Do-335 was not the most attractive plane ever built. It is still generally credited as the fastest WW2 prop plane, although it did not arrive until '44 both the Mosquito and Do-335 were originally designed as fast bombers circa '39, I feel that fact makes it fair to compare the two planes to some degree.

[DickLodge68]

@doktorbimmer Well done. I stand corrected. Although the Mosquito and the Lightning played very different roles. Each could perform several tasks. The P-38 was a better fighter, the Mosquito wasn't designed for that. The Dornier isn't really fair. Great airplane and an ugly SOB, but only a few were in service by war's end. By war's end Mustangs were faster than the Mosquito as well. I won't mince words with you, you are correct. Point regards to a previous post.

[doktorbimmer]

@DickLodge68 In '41 the Mosquito was rated at around 415 mph (380-437mph depending on model) the P-38 introduced same year had a rated top speed was 443mph, by 1945 there were aircraft that exceeded 470mph like the Do-335 and Ta-152

[DickLodge68]

@doktorbimmer Well, name me an example. The Mosquito was introduced in '41 I believe, and simply drove Goering nuts ( if he wasn't already).

[doktorbimmer]

@DickLodge68 You said this; "and the Mosquito was simply the fastest prop plane of the era". A curious statement.. well if by era you mean '41-'45? I feel that a correction may be in order. Although some Mosquito models were extremely fast, I don't believe the Mosquito in any of its many configurations was the fastest prop aircraft in Axis or Allied inventory and specifically among twin engine prop aircraft not the fastest of its era either.

Technology is not always a guaranty to success or win a war. Just remember what caused the death of the strongest and most modern battleship - the Bismark. A slow doubledecker swordfish plane...But german WWII technology was the start for a new time. From missiles to jet fighters.

@OI8APC2

That´s GERMAN Law friend. Everybody can rebuild everything in a correct historical way. Except Germany. The Swastika is not even allowed on plastik models. It´s a shame, even if we lost the war. History is history. Good or bad. Just imagine America would have lost the war and isn´t allowed to have the "white star" on their replicas or models. Totally nonsense!!! Such laws don´t change the past.
