What One (1) WWII Era Bomber.....

Arado Ar234. It was operational, it flew a lot of sorties,and it was awesome.

It is a jet, yes, but it can be catched by a diving plane, more or less easily. It carried mroe or less light payload...so it is a bomber that wont unbalance the planeset too much...

Ar234. Ar234, Ar234!! RARARA!!

I hate to not vote for the A-26, but it's been done.

Tupolev Tu-2.  Looks kind of like a Pe-2 but bigger. 375 mph with a 6000 lb bomb load!

You smell that? Do you smell that?
Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that.
I love the smell of napalm in the morning.
The smell, you know that gasoline smell, smelled like victory.

Hmm Kieren that's a great point about the A-20.  That gives you a USSR, USA, or RAF medium bomber for scenarios with just one plane type.  Also it was versatile.  With variants you get a level bomber, attack (strafer) plane, and night-fighter.

Right, funked. And if you stretch the imagination a teeny-weeny bit, you get a DB-7, used by the French in the very early days of the war.

It was maneuverable, not overly fast, but could do it all. I think it would be cool, anyway.

A-26 Invader would rock! But When did it enter service??? You say it saw action in every theatre in ww2? I have never seen a photo of one without the post ww2 U.S. insignia...
