I'll make an attempt, a weak one, but an attempt:

1. which country was the first flying jet made.( not first engine) bonus question which year did it fly?

I believe that Britain made the first engine, but Germany made the first flying Jet.

2.which country had a ACE pilot 33 kills and was a Woman. Bonus what was squad

Russia

3. Which country would attach old unairworthy bombers to the bottom of their fighters and drop entire bomber loaded with bombs as 1 large bomb? bonus question Plane types

Germany. FW190 with JU88 beneath (Mistletoe?)

4. Which country flew a bomber with a 70FT magnet attached to bottom. bonus why?

Britain?  (To attempt to disrupt German radar?)

5. Which country built the first Flying aircraft carrier. this was a plane you could fly to hook onto refuel re arm and fly away...

US with a dirigible I believe?

6. Which country had a Submarine aircraft carrier.

Japan.

7. Name the LAST plane type Eric Hartman flew for the German Airforce. Caution trick question

F104 (or was it the 106?) Starfighter anyways...

8. Which USA plane type had most kills over Japanese........

Hellcat had a 19 to 1 K/D ratio..I'll pick Hellcat.

9. Which plane was nicnamed the Porcupine? This plane was attacked by 8 german planes. and was all alone it killed 3 of the attackers other 5 were badly damage and were sent limping home.

No idea. No guess even...

10. Why were Nagasaki and Hiroshima, Spare(d) bombings during war until august 1945?

No idea.

You can argue the Italians were first with jet propulsion; they had a design that was a ducted fan, and if memory serves, it constricted airflow out the back. If so, this constitutes jet propulsion.

It ain't Lilya... most sources give her 12- 13, depending on who's counting.

I actually doubt it's Russia... most likely another country (Germany?).

4. Which country flew a bomber with a 70FT magnet attached to bottom. bonus why?

Well, Ju52 carried a magnet underneath.. although it isn't a bomber. I think He111s did too, and it was used as a minesweeper.
