Need I argue further...!!
Just a pity it isn't in the game.

Lancaster all the way. If that grandslam had been an unlockable that required 1000 strike match wins I would have been happy to plow through. That battleship on scicily coast would go down with one drop

Thats a spanish CASA 2.111


Anyway the Mosquito is my best. I'll give the Wellington a mention too though.

B29. The beginning of a new generation of bomber. Pressurized. Controlled atmosphere. Radar controlled guns. Nuclear capable. FAST! Tough. Reliable. Groundbreaking technology in every respect. An unstoppable, devastating machine that is the picture of either victory or unfathomable devastation known round the world.

For me it's the Lancaster and Mosquito.

Without a shadow of a doubt it the Avro Lancaster Bomber. It was a true bomber, and could carry an incredible payload, making it the ultimate heavy bomber. It could corkscrew, it could even be barrel rolled!! But on top of all that.... it has those 4 merlins.

A beautiful aircraft

1. B-25 for sure. Not many other bombers I know of had a 75mm cannon placed in them so they could blow up more shit. Just looks like it'd be fun to fly.

2. SBD. You're not getting there fast, or going very far, but for putting bombs on target, you're looking good. Even managed a few Zero kills during the war.

3. Ju-88. Same as Matt said, very versatile - like the B-25.
