Funny, I was just playing around with scenarios and setup the early Blenheim as a fighter , hoping to add in a gun pod .. but alas!
When the war started, the laftwaffe was mostly ready, the English NOT! many a couragous pilot went to his death in antiquated 1930s aircraft. Fairy battle being one and dare I say the defiant ? Funny thing, the Italians were too early, they thought the war would start mid 30s and by 1940 had an airforce of mostly antiquated relics!
BTW, wasn't the Lysander suppose to be a non-flyer?? would be great to have it part of a long campaign where a successful night landing the night before (dropping off arms and gathering intel) would render a nearby enemy airfield inoperable the next day .. just an idea.
