Subdeacon Joe Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 http://www.playbuzz.com/chuangc10/world-war-ii-aircraft-identification-quiz-4 I only got 8. On 4 of the wrong answers I had it down to 2 and made the wrong guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Scatterbrain Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Only got five. Never was much of an airhead though... But I did have four or five I had narrowed down to two choices, and then chose the wrong one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I got 13, but on several, it was strictly process of elimination. I missed numbers 5 and 9. Yeah, I'm an airplane geek. Challenging quiz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boon Doggle Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 6, all guess work. I'm surprised some of you did not do better. After all, you piloted many of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocWard Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 8 correct. Only a couple of the ones I got right were guesses. Most of the ones I got wrong were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah Bob #35998 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 6, all guess work. I'm surprised some of you did not do better. After all, you piloted many of them. They were after my time. Me and Orville never had such fanciness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailrider #896 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 5 right. Some of these are really arcane. I guessed wrong between the Swordfish and the other British torpecker! Swordfish was, IIRC...now...open cockpit. Swordfish effectively sank the Bismark (torpedo fouled the rudder, and the Royal Navy administered the coup de gras).

Utah Bob #35998 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I always have difficulty with the Italian aircraft. About all I know is they took a 10:1 oil/tomato sauce ratio in the crankcase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
