I always thought wooden aircraft might also meet with, erm, “biological” attack in the jungle…
Oh, and Crab and PzKpfw VI Tiger, on the subject of flammability… We all know wood burns great, but it’s worth bearing in mind that Aluminium burns very well. In fact, I do remember seeing on a wooden crate for an aluminium aircraft part something along the lines of “WARNING! FIRE HAZARD - ALUMINIUM DUST!” :S
For the most part exactly the same as this one, full of people with no justification for their opinions. Would it be so hard to say “my favourite is the P-51D because…”?
All I’m asking for is for people to put a bit of effort into their answers instead of using these threads as a chance to bump their post counts up a bit higher with replies like
“P-51”
"I agree "[/quote]

As you like, I’m sure it would be a more fulfilling debate if just someone on here could put an intelligent reason as to why they prefer the P-51 over the Corsair or the P-38 though.[/quote]
There is no ‘ganging up,’ merely pointing out that unjustified opinions are like haemorroids, every arsehole can have them but they are pointless and no-one in their right mind wants to see them.
It’s not meant to be ganging up. It’s just that saying ‘I like the P-51’ is a useless post, whereaser ‘I like the P-51 because…’ is a useful post. A selection in a poll is a good way to express an opinion without justifying it. If you post an opinion, explanation of how you reached it is vital for discussion to develop.
ww2fanatic1944 - feel free to pop along to the General Discussion forum for the “Best fighter of WW2” thread! The more votes the better. Be sure to read the thread first - basically it’s a structured “tournament” to arrive at the best WWII fighter, and you must cast your vote with a justified reason why. Might interest you.
