Ah,...the infamous Crazymainer quizzes are relived..... :wink:

I can see another heavy discussion about that bottom biplane...looks all too familiar with our F/P forum one.

Anyway...I'll go with Douglas BT-2.

I agree with the VS-44 Sikorsky on # 3


Cheers
TNZ

I really like all of the warbirds from the WWII era. My favorite USN aircraft include the Dauntless, Devastator, Vindicator, Avenger. However my favorite aircraft of all is the Flying Fortress. Thanks for the quiz I really enjoyed it.

Was that paint scheme you referred to some kind of dazzle camouflage? What was the fate of this a/c? Did it see any wartime use?
