I'm still of the opinion that the WWI generation of prop driven planes were the best looking planes ever built. Helps temper the knowledge that 10s of thousands of men, on both sides of the conflict, went to war, foguht and died in those same craft. More debt we can never repay....

It's pretty cramped in there ! Lying on your stomach and looking through the bombardier's sight is really something.

The plane I flew in (The Liberty Bell) crashed and burned last summer.

first typed it as WWIII... got edit happy I supposeThe Fokkers were _tiny_ planes. And the WWI planers were cloth and wood... 5000 ft altitude and all thats between you and a very sudden stop is some straight grained hardwood and fabric with some paint on it....
