p40m

[JHerne]

Or how about the famous 'Fat Albert-cat' of the 1960s?

[JHerne]

was used in north africa around 1943-1945 had the ability to do carrier launches, ...

Sorry, this is like watching a bus crash...

You do know that the campaign in North Africa ENDED in April 1943, with the surrender of Axis forces, right?

ill look more into it but one thing i do know is that theydid see combat because there was a photograph in this book of the p40m with a bomb on it

[Ack-Ack]

And they were Merlin engined P40 F and Ls of the 33rd, 57th and 325th FGs that were ferried to North Africa and then launched from the carriers, but not into combat, just to their land base.  Same for Many of the Malta Spit Vb and Vc, and Jugs in the PTO to Saipan

I do believe though that some of the P-47s on USS Manila Bay were launched as DEFCAP when the carrier came under attack during the Saipan campaign.  No kills or contact if I remember correctly.

AKAK is having too much fun...

...and for once we're in total agreement and not bickering about something....

I saw a movie with Ben Affleck where he flew a B-25 off an aircraft carrier so I think that our B-25 should be able to do that like Ben Affleck.

Edit: Nevermind, we already have a thread about the B-25. lol

I'm not going to try and argue, since you're not right on this one, and there's no point in egging you on. I just want to point out for your own personal education that drop tanks are not bombs.

Actually, that movie is more like AH than we realize...

First we start out on a low-perk Stearman, then we're flying Spitfires, then P-40s, then B-25s, then back to the Stearman! All in 108 minutes!

Where else, but in AH, can you do anything remotely close to that?!?!

Ben Affleck loves Aces High, Josh Hartnett wonders why he's not as famous as Ben Affleck (cause he don't hang around with Matt Damon), and Kate Beckinsdale is just plain HOT.

Any Questions?

Agreed...and they should perk Kate Beckinsale...especially in nude scenes, as perky as you can get.

Say it isn't so. Who ever heard of a P-40 carrying a bomb?

Considering the other erroneous assumptions you have made from photos, you should probably have read the full text before making further erroneous assumptions based on a photo...just sayin.

I don't know if I can afford the price of this perk ride...



She's just plain gorgeous...
