My son got the "Mega Book of Combat Aircraft by Chrysalis Children's Books" out of the library (I've had no influence over his interests at all :-). I thought I'd quote a couple of nuggets of information in the book: Mega Fact In 1943, B-29 bombers dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan. Only two years out, no big deal. Wounded in the 1942 Battle of Britain, the Supermarine Spitfire series served in bomber, fighter, interceptor and reconnaissance roles in every major aerial combat during the war. At least the average error is zero. Ignoring the year, does this sentence even make sense? Then I noticed that the rather nice cutaway drawing of a turbojet engine was labeled back to front. Needless to say one to avoid. |

At least tell the library so they can stop the cycle mis-education. |

You *definitely* need to post an opposing viewpoint.
Although the thought of a 4-engined long-range Spitfire bomber is intriguing. Hmmm . . .

"Although the thought of a 4-engined long-range Spitfire bomber is intriguing. Hmmm . . ." It's called a Lancaster :) David S. |

No, it needs those beautiful elliptical lines of the Spitfire. The Lanc got the job done, but beautiful? |
