What is your list of the top ten best bombers of WW2?
Curious as to what answers will come back. Lets try to look at some of the lesser known, but outstanding bombers of WW2 that perhaps did not get the attention/press they shoud have. Thinking
of A/C such as the soviet PE-2, German Ar234 “Blitz bomber”.
etc.
Well my favorites are as follows:
1. B-24 Liberator (actually the liberator flew more missions world wide than the B-17: it just didn’t get the press the B-17 did.)
2. B-17 Flying Fortress
3. B-29 Super Fortress
4. B-25 Mitchell (Bomber, gunship this was a very versatile bomber)
5. B-26 Marauder
6. Avro British Lancaster Bomber - I have a fondness for this bomber because of the Dam Busting missions, and the other special ordnance missions it flew.
7.DeHavillan Mosquito (yes, it could drop bombs…very fast little bomber)
8. the Japanese “Betty” a very good bomber in its own right.
9. German Ju-88 also a good light bomber.
10. Consolidated B-32 Dominator. Yes they actually had these planes in the inventory.
In terms of effectiveness:
1. B-29: the bomber that burned an empire down.
2. Ju-88 the bomber that remodeled London
3. B-24 The bomber that struck out Italy, Romania and a few other German satellite countries.
4. B-17 and the Lancaster (the bombers that help kill the french and German military industrial complex).
5. the German stuka: the bomber that helped seize most of western Europe.
6. B-25 Mitchell the bomber that helped re-take the south pacific.
7. The Japanese Betty.
8. The US Navy Dauntless Dive Bomber: the bomber that killed a navy.
9. The B-26 Marauder: a killer angel in both fronts.
10. The B-20 Havoc: a light bomber with a taste for tanks and ships. designated to an A-20 status later.
