Not too shabby, considering most were 'educated guesses'

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".

22 of 25. I'm bummed.

Who knew the Italians ever had an air force? (I knew they did, but never had heard the name).

Who knew what German plane had been modified 60 times? Hasn't EVERY plane been modified 60 times?

I spent a year restoring a couple of P-38 Lightnings, and it's amazing to see the modifications. It was one of the first nose draggers, so they didn't understand the forces on the nose gear very well. It kept breaking in service, so the nose gear attach was modified a bunch of times.

They had a flutter on the tail, and discovered a fairing on the fuselage fixed it. But the original fairing that was built into the structure was retained, while every airplane had a huge fairing dzus fastened over the top of the original.

Even the angle of incidence of the tail was changed. Take a look at any P-38 you see where the tail boom attaches at the tail, and you'll see an angle where the skin doesn't line up. They never bothered to change the skins, but merely drilled the attach screws to the new angle on every plane.

Sorry, the correct answer was Gotha Go 229-0


Your score was 22 out of 25

Congratulations!

Missed the aces question (didn't know the P-38 did that well) the last question knew it was the Gotha or the late model FW and one other. I got lucky on the Battle of Britain question, if they had both the Spitfire and the Hurricane I would not have had a clue.

Thanks for posting, that was a neat test.

Very simple-minded and too easy - Got 25 outta 25. Only one that gave me trouble was "modified 60 times." Was torn between the FW190 and the Ju88.

21 out of 25. I missed a couple I should have known, but that was offset by getting a couple I wasn't sure of.

Your score was 21 out of 25.

Not too bad considering that it has been many many years since I read WWII aviation history texts. Plus, the memory dims but, luckily, I don't depend upon history to fly safely!

Sad to say only 16 out of 25. Sigh.
