That's got nothing to do with a cowl cover, but Im not interested enough to argue about it.

We need attackable cargo ships for this plane. That interests me.

Thanks for the comments Creamo, it's much appreciated.   :)  That Mosquito cutaway picture looks awesome, is that from the book that you were describing?

As for the cargo ships, well I asked HT awhile ago about Cargo ships and he said there will be some eventually, along with barges for canals?  So at least we got trains, truck convoys, and all we need now is sea convoys/barges confirmed and we gotta plenty of targets for our Mossie   :)

Cool Nexx. The book is "The Great Book of WWII Airplanes." I have bought 6 copies ans sent them to deserving people! Look for it on Ebay. I paid $75 twice out of a store, a as low as $25 on Ebay. When it showed up it had a 25 cent garage sale sticker on it. I almost cried..heh.  :)

Its the best book I have ever read, and read it daily. Its 9 pounds, so I have a stand for it in the bathroom.  :)

Get it. The artist is simply amazing.

If you can't wait, Ill scan in whatever you want.

If you read my post you'd get it but you're right, who really cares anyway...

I don't know enough about the theory, obviously different exhaust designs will have different effects. It's just that the RAF seem to have tested different designs extensively, not just worked out performance on paper. If the ducted exhausts were improving performance, the RAF would have found that in their tests, not overlooked it in some calculations.
