i wish they could build new ones, like the FW 190, but it'd be difficult, even though most of its is wood . . .
thanks for the update on the Mossie
"In 1940 I could at least fly as far as Glasgow in most of my aircraft, but not now! It makes me furious when I see the Mosquito. I turn green and yellow with envy. The British, who can afford aluminium better than we can, knock together a beautiful wooden aircraft that every piano factory over there is building, and they give it a speed which they have now increased yet again. What do you make of that? There is nothing the British do not have. They have the geniuses and we have the nincompoops. After the war is over I'm going to buy a British radio set - then at least I'll own something that has always worked."

I also read the Germans came up with the idea of a twin engine bomber that was so fast it could evade fighters and have none or minimal defensive weaponry. But the British were the only ones to actualize that idea.
