Is that a Yak, Dashing Dasher?

Sure is built pretty! I hear they're very good at Aerobatics.

23 of 25-- However--

The question concerning who imported B-25's: The correct answer, "None of the above" is incorrect. It should have been "All of the above".

The Me 109 should do fairly well at Pylons, Dashing.

Or in a dive.

The Andrews AFB Open House/Air Show always features some great old WWII warbirds. Navy Avengers, a Corsair, A-6 Texans, P-51Ds. Even an old B-17 and B-25.

Still think the Spitfire, Mustang and Hurricane were the most beautifylly designed planes of WWII.

Jack.

Though we "Lend Leased" hundreds of Corsairs, P-39s and B-24s before Dec. 7th, 1941. I believe that the B-17 and B-25 were pretty much "Hands Off" during WWII, Old Flat Toad.

I've never heard of an RAF, RCAF, New Zealand or Australian Air Force unit flying the Fort or Mitchell.

I can't make urls work worth spit but its an easy search-

mitchell bomber britan
mitchell bomber canada
mitchell bomber australia

Yes I did look it up before posting:)

Have my doubts on the Zero being the most numerous plane at Pearl too. Thought the light bombers/Vals did most of the work

I stand corrected. Old Flat Toad.

It would seem that there would have been more Vals at Pearl Harbor than Zeros. Since Vals were Torpedo Bombers, and Battleship Row was one of their Prime Objectives.
