If I may, I think this will be a gentlemens plane (look at the guy in the robe in the picture). 

One of my most respected fighter pilots was a French Gentleman: Georges Guynemer.

While the accomplishments of these pilots
are impressive, I'm mode inspired by post war period and the genesis of the air mail. Look up ' L'Aéropostale'.

Hahahaha... how far did ya get?

 I'm not going to bother going threw your spiel or digging up the day by day out of the many books I have on  the subject  ...but you have many mistakes or flatuations and I'll let the web sit/ stand as it is thanks.

Read up,

You are slandering me about what I posted after admitting you didn't bother reading what I posted. You, sir, are a troll. You again prove you don't give a crap about the topic. You don't care 1 iota about the history. You'll just spin any lie or insult you want to promote a plane that was a minor footnote in WW2.

100% BS and lies. I was quoting his very reference and explaining how he is completely wrong and deluded. If you had followed the link or read my post, you would know this. Instead you post lies about me to slander me (again) because you don't like what I have to say.

Face the facts. I'm not making this up. Most of those units that had any D.520s in the BoF had them for a whopping week and a half to two weeks. Some of them were changing airfields so often they never flew combat!

If you're calling this "hearsay" then you have to throw that baldfaced lie at your pal, Megalodon, as well. He's the one that used the link as reference for his point. He simply again failed to comprehend what he was reading.

Krusty, could you at least consider that the way you approach this BBS kind of brings these reactions on yourself. You can't have half a dozen people at any given moment 'posting lies and slander' without just for a moment considering the common denominator: you.

You seem very passionate about WWII aviation and that's fantastic, but sometimes your opinionated or authoritative delivery just turns everyone against you. Take this thread for instance. You're so sure, so adamantly sure you are right and so forcefully are you asserting that, that you're actually doing the best job of promoting the D.520 possible, because people just become belligerent & unite against you.

It's easy to get righteously indignant on a forum, we've all done it, including me (much to my later embarrassment) but someone very wise once told me there was great value and strength in posting your opinion and then leaving it at that. If your opinion has merit it should displace those with less merit, and so on.

Even if you win this argument about the numbers of aircraft serving, it really doesn't get you anywhere anyway, since we already know HTC will include an interesting aircraft if they see fit, regardless of the numbers flown (again I cite the Ta-152). Squabbling over a finite resource, in this case HTC's rate of releasing new aircraft, is always going to get ugly, but we are just players all, with equally little influence. I'm sure I'll never see my beloved Westland Whirlwind in this game, but this is the Wishlist, we are allowed to discuss and propose our dream aircraft here, the decision for inclusion lies elsewhere.

This is just how I see things.
