Just kidding in all honesty I wonder about the Brewster. Speed is not a question it is the Brewster's ability to retain E and flip on a dime.

Then a few of our current P40E skins should not be there as well as they are the N model?

Dutch Dakota?

Just got done reading an old book that is no longer in print about the Japanese attacks on the town of Broome.

It is all fact & is about the Japanese attacks on that West Australian town & the downing of this Dakota as well as a bunch of other side stories. This book reads like an Indiana Jones movie. You have a former WWI Russian fighter pilot who was an ace back then,who is in command of the K.N.I.L.M Dakota during WWII & his transportation of refugees & dutch military personal & diamonds.

One of the Japanese Zero pilots that is shot down at the airport at Broome was actually involved in the raid at Pearl Harbour. In fact I think they could make a movie out of it. I have included just a few pages of the book.

I wanted to add all of the portion of a Dutch crewman of the Dakota but it is to long. So I only added the portion that I think makes this aircraft acceptable for inclusion to AHII.

Personlay I think this aircraft should qualify even though it was a commercial DC-3 that was commandeered & repainted by the Dutch military to evacuate Dutch nationals out of Java.

A nice bit of audio on this link.
