Snort! Yeah, I thought about doing it, but the brain sufficed. I went back to post the Starfighter (second guessing myself!) and you beat em too it. Aah. Most guys will forget about the British M-2 though. I racked my brain trying to rememeber the M-2 portion, I knew both coutries and the I-400 right away, but finally got it.

I heard you a got a stone chip on that beemer's hood! Kidding

2. Since someone has already mentioned Russia, I'll take a wild guess and say Finland.

3. Germany

4. Britain...to set off magnetic mines.

6. Japan

7. Last plane as a pilot of the Luftwaffe - Me-109K-14
As a member of the German Air Force - someone else said F-104...I'll guess Phantom.

8. Hellcat

9. Sunderland Flying Boat...Fought an engagement against 8 JU-88's off the coast of Spain. If memory serves, only two of the attackers survived the engagement.

10. Considered to be non-industrial targets...mainly known for their culture and architectural beauty.

6. Which country had a Submarine aircraft carrier.

Add Austrailia to the list http://www.skyhawk.org/2C/aus_sub.htm:

"This is HM Submarine E22, carrying two Sopwith Schneider floatplanes. The submarine was outfitted as an "aircraft carrier" at Harwich, early in 1916. The intent was to intercept German airships over the North Sea, although the advantage of a submarine for this work is unknown, since the sub could not submerge with the aircraft aboard."

There is more: "E22 ballasts down to launch her aircraft. In the first launching trial the fragile seaplanes were destroyed by choppy seas before they floated free. One successful trial was carried out, but the scheme was abandoned as impractical. The submarine was soon sunk, taking her logbooks to the bottom with her, so little more is known about this experiment."

And the United States: "This is the submarine USS S1 (SS 105) with a MS-1 seaplane on deck. The date is 24 October 1923. The seaplane was to be stowed, disassembled, in the cylinder on deck while the submarine was submerged. Trials were carried out in 1926, but the concept appears to have been deemed unsuccessful. One problem was that the aircraft barely fit into the cylinder, and could only carry enough fuel for 15 minutes in the air! The photo was probably taken at New York"

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

I would guess F6F also...."12,000+ Hellcats produced accounted for three-fourths of all U.S. Navy air-to-air kills."

10. probably because they figured why waste bombs on them when there just going to nuke em and take em out in one big BANG.

thats sounds about right anyway

10. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were spared bombing raids because the powers that be in the US wanted to test the destructive power of the atomic bomb on undamaged targets.

Disturbing, but all info I read on the matter seems to confirm this.

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.

The real story: On 3 April 1940, a Sunderland operating off Norway was attacked by six German Junkers Ju-88 fighters, and managed to shoot one down, damage another enough to send it off to a forced landing, and drive off the rest. The Germans would eventually name the Sunderland the "Fliegende Stachelsweine (Flying Porcupine)".
