Which Polish aircraft do you most want?

[funked]

ONLY pick 1 off of my suggested list or name one that you would rather have.
My list will be of aircraft that are as competitive as possible with the current plane set. (LOL)
The list is in alphabetic order:

PZL P.11c

PZL P.11c - but ONLY on the condition that it's 100 perk points...

[Karnak]

Heh, Funked.

The only reason that I didn't do a Polish or Australian thread was because in both cases there is only 1 real choice.

Beaufighter Mk.21 and Mosquito FB.40 were two aircraft built in significant numbers under license, with modifications to suit RAAF requirements...

[Regurge]

Mustang III in Polish Livery  

[Nimits]

Didn't the Poles have a decent light bomber?

[funked]

Yep, PZL P.37 "Los"
It was one of the best medium bombers in service anywhere in 1939.
It had a 2500 kg bomb load, 3 defensive MGs, top speed of 445 km/h, range of about 1500 km, and ceiling over 9000 m.

Wow, the color of that plane is incredibly fitting.

The aircraft itself which I had never seen before seems to explain much about the famed horse charges on German Panzers the Polish Army made, either through bravery or foolishness.

Meaning, I tend to believe they were not brave or foolish, but actually Polish pilots, thinking they were to face hopeless odds against German Zepplins and unarmed reconnaissance aircraft in the PZL P. 11c, and they just chose to saddle Wilber up and attack.

(add a hoopty gay green laughy thingy here)

Ah.. it's easy to make fun of that aircraft, but I am sure you are not making fun of the Polish air force.   I read somewhere that despite being heavily outnumbered, despite having terribly outdated equipment, and despite being hit with a brutal suprise attack, the Polish air force managed to maintain greater than a one to one kill ratio against the mighty Luftwaffe (126 LW AC down at a cost of 114 PZL-P.11s).  Shows what you can do when you are very determined.

[Makarov1]

Can we get that MiG-21 in the last picture? Ok ok perk it for 10 points.

[GRUNHERZ]

Hey Funked ill vote for it, but only if you promise to fly no other plane in AH except it, ever!   hehe

Commonwealth Aircraft assembled Mustang Mk 20 through Mk 23 from P51D components.  None saw service in the war (and my book lists them as Merlin powered).  That leaves the Commonwealth Aircraft Wirraway (CA-1 through CA-10) and Boomerang (CA-12 through CA-19) which was derived from the Wirraway.
