Zeno to the rescue again. Im intrigues by the A-36 lately. Ive read several books written by its pilots who just cant stop raving about it. It very well might have been the best dive bomber of the war.
It might surprise some but the bomb truckers who flew the entire stable werent that crazy about the P-47. Yes it was tough and its radial could take much more but the big nose on it made dive bombing difficult. they had to develope a type of "glide-bombing" in it.
Their words, not mine. Zeno Im lovin my A-26 video. I hope AH is listening.
