| I love the one-page descriptions of the military airplanes. They provide sort of optimistic assessments. The Budd RB-1 for instance was a terrible airplane. Best known for its high maintenance and many crashes. The Navy kept them in service for all of one year - then sold them all for pennies on the dollar.
The SBD Dauntless was affectionately called Slow but Deadly by its pilots. The stated speed of 230mph was probably only reached during a dive. Its cruise speed was 185mph. Incidentally the Dauntless has a range of over 1000 miles - not 200. |
