Nice hat! LOL
The Grumman “Ironworks” made some tough, reliable and functional piston warplanes but they would never win beauty contests. Except the Tigercat, which was a sleek beauty that looked fast even sitting still.
The Dehavillon Mosquito was the best 2 engine fighter bomber of WW2. It had 2 Merlins.There were alot more P-38s built and it was a good platform also
Best? Hmmm...
@@WALTERBROADDUS Got any alternate competitors for the Mosquito in mind?
@@SoloRenegade The Grumman F7F....

@@WALTERBROADDUS But it was not a fighter bomber of WW2. Designed during WW2, but never did anything, much like the A-1 Skyraider. Great aircraft, but miss out on WW2.
The Mosquito has one heck of a combat record and earned reputations among friendlies and enemies alike. Performed far more missions than the F7F. Claiming the F7F was the best of WW2, is like claiming the Mig15 was the best jet fighter of WW2.
So you have not convinced me it was the best fighter bomber of WW2, and I accept the claim for the Mosquito.
@@SoloRenegade B29 and A26
Great job, Fred and Greg
Great video Fred. Stay cool!
Ginger Beer is Ginger Ale off its meds.
Too modest, I think w/a few rehearsals you could don the fruit salad hat and give Carmen a run for the $$. Per the Wikipedia page, it appears the 20mm cannon were where the wing joins the fuselage (2 each wing), and the .50 cal. machine guns were the underside of the nose where you indicated.
Hmm a second career... Thank you for the comment
23:02 good to know, bc if someone wants a ride on bunny in the week one of these guys can help.
Does she still fly? or kept in flying condition but hangared
The aircraft is keep in ground run status and hangared as part of our collection.
