Stall and decoy. Use Anti-Tank and/or tank destroyers and split your TBs into multiple stack. Rocket fighters are useless in this situation, as you are not attacking any aircraft

more accuratly, it is the Crew of a Lancaster Mk II, coded OW-X, from 408 RCAF Squadron in no particular order: W/O1 C. McLeod RCAF, Pilot; Sgt Innes RAF, Flight engineer; WO2 A. Bjarnason RCAF, Navigator;
Sgt L. Silver RCAF, Mid-upper gunner; and F/Sgt J. Lawder RCAF, Rear gunner. F/Sgt John Plemel RCAF, Wireless Operator and F/Sgt A. Stock RCAF, Bomb aimer.

3rd from left is the Military Cross.

Well, I'm restoring the 408 Squadron picture, because the MM was found real fast

You know what is funny? Canada still has not updated it's icebreakers. Many of them are still from the late 1900's. No wonder we can't break anything out of our deep freeze.

On you other note, Canada has not bothered to even replace any of its ships for the longest time. We are still using Post- cold war subs.

A well-built heavy icebreaker should have a 30 or 40-year lifetime with proper maintenance and refits. The U.S. Navy and Coast Guard operated the same 6 or 7 heavies from the mid-1940s through the 1970s and '80s, and a couple of the same ships served with the RCN and the Soviet Navy on a Lend-Lease basis. The Coast Guard, not the Navy, operates whatever we have now, and I think USCGS only operates two or three heavies, with the last one dating from the 1990s. I vaguely remember some discussion about building some new heavies during one of the defense bill debates 4 or 5 years ago, but I don't recall what the outcome was.

Yes, but seeing as Canada has a reputation of buying the lowest grade, most outdated models for anything because they have cheap price tags, our fleet probably won't last as long as the American fleet. Canadian ships also have had a mold and mildew problem

Fighter, attack or bomber? The most famous homegrown plane was the Sturmovik ground attack plane. It was known as the "flying tank" and influenced the later design of the American A-10.

fighter. It was developed later on in the war. full metal monoplane

its the Il-2

I think it was. thank you

FYI, the Yak-3 was the premier Soviet fighter of the war.

The Il-2 was the Sturmovik, but it was primarily a ground attack plane.

cf-105 arrow. You wouldn't recognize it because it is Canadian. It has a tragic story you google.

Ah, yes, that was the homegrown fighter that got canceled in favor of an arguably lesser American design. The British and Canadian aerospace industry went through a lot of that in the 1960s and 1970s, as they had neither the research capital nor the production volume to keep up with the Americans.

They had the research capital, and 4.9 fighters were already made. It is just that the cost was too much for a newly elected conservative government(Liberals held power up until that time) that thought that the age of aircraft was coming to an end and the age of rockets was dawning. as a result, the new government bought F-101 Voodoos and Bomarc rockets.

also, Canada tried to sell the arrow to the UK and almost got a deal. then the new government came in and scrapped the project

i recognize the cf-105, i study planes

just read it

Sweet. We'll be starting soon I hope!

which one?

I'll get you the link.
