Those airframes suggest to me that the early equipment could soldier on if needed, so it would not be a stretch to have this Mk I cover the whole war. You'll hear less me this and me that in the future. I just happen to be the one who was free enough to start.

Mark I makes a lot of sense in the same way that the B-24D is definitely the most useful type to have in being able to cover significant parts of the war.
