What's anyone elses view on how fast a bomber, say the FW200, can roll , to me they all seem to lack inertia - I would have thought a 4 engined bomber in particular had quite a resistance to rolling, the shear mass and air resistance of its wings would surely have an inertial affect on the speed with which it can roll from side to side.
I was watching a damaged FW200 and it was rolling to and fro with about a 1 second frequency - like a small single engined plane would/could do. I always thought the same of il2 in this respect, some bombers would pull manouvres that would embarass a Spit - any thoughts?
