Not very useful.  The RAF determined it was not ready for combat operations and they were used as maritime patrol aircraft.

The B-17E and/or B-17F as well as the B-24D would be very nice.

The Lancaster Mk III with the quad .303 tail turret does fine as a stand in for the Lancaster Mk I.

A Mosquito B.Mk IV would be another nice earlier version of an existing bomber to have.  Active from 1942 through the end of the war in Europe whereas the Mk XVI we have entered service in January of 1944.

Wellington for early war.  :)

  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.

B24D for sure.  The Wellington would be nice.  And an EW Ju88 (including a remodel of the current version).   :aok

The Wellington always reminds me of a whale for some reason but I think it would be a good early war medium bomber to have.
