... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB

thanks for posting!

the top canopy bulge was always funny to me. its main purpose was to allow the navigator to wear the chef's hat while he is preparing the inflight dinner.

I'm afraid it's only a crappy camera with 3rd rate optics. There was an Me410 about 50 metres away. I was thinking of making a pictorial comparison. Maybe one day if I have better equipment  :old:
