    Flying fortress --->



    Superfortress --->



    The superfortress dropped the atomic bombs on Japan. The flying fortress dropped huge amounts of bombs on Germany - over a third of all the bombs dropped by the USAF in WWII were dropped by the flying fortress.

    Hurricane -->



    Spitfire --->



    Although the spitfire was more glamorous and well known, the hurricane shot down getting on for two thirds of all german planes destroyed in the battle of britain.

    The jet is noise. The Merlin is music.

    Apparently, the Hurricane shot down more enemy aircraft than all other British types put together.

    The B29 on Shelf Moor was a photo reconnaissance plane and photographed the Bikini Atoll nuclear bomb tests, it also 'mingled' with the planes dropping supplies during the Berlin airlift, taking snaps of the Reds.

    P51 Mustang. Mmmm.

    You guys want to get yourselves down to Duxford. Loads of classic planes to ogle.
