"Differences? Everything was different! The first thing you noticed was the luxury of the aircraft. It was really pleasant to fly in one of those, the luxury still was somewhat unnecessary. "
There is no difference if you will burn alive with comfort or without it, but all the luxury meant added weight and increased size = easier target + a lot of extra things to burn.
