Off topic info dump:
Only recently did Republican become "red" and Dem "blue". For quite a while they were reversed. Perhaps Ghost is just that old school conservative.

Consolidated B-24 Liberator

    Forever remembered as the most produced aircraft of WWII, it was often eclipsed by the B-17. Over 19,000 Liberators were produced during the war, with each of those planes being used in practically every theatre of operations. Approximately 10,000 Liberators were produced by Consolidated Vultee at San Diego and Fort Worth, and the remaining 9,000 by Ford, Douglas, and North American. Many different models were made out of the same basic design to perform many different functions, such as passenger, fuel, and utility transport PLUS photographic reconnaissance and training aircraft. By the end of WWII, almost all B-17's in the PTO had been phased out by B-24's. This bomber proved to play a very crucial role in the air war over Europe and the Pacific.

You are 100% absolutely...WRONG!

The B-24 was the most produced aircraft of the Unites States during WWII, not the most produced aircraft during WWII.

Try again. Smiley

Me-109

You are wrong too.  The Bf 109 was the 2nd highest produced aircraft of WWII, with right at 35,000 being built (P.S. Try not to make the mistake of calling the 109 the "Me-109".  It was the Bf 109 throughout it's lifetime).

Really? I know that Bf- was used for early models but thought that after july '38, when the firm that initiated the design (Bayerische Flugzeugwerke AG) was redesignated Messerschmitt AG, later Messerschmitt designs carried the prefix Me- instead of Bf-.

Also, are you talking about that damn Cessna again? :-)

Ok, Ilyushin IL-2m-3 Shturmovik: 36,000

That is exactly correct.  But it was not a "retro" designation.  In other words, the aircraft that were already designed with the "Bf" designation, kept it for their entire life.  The Bf 109 first flew in 1935, and thus kept its "Bf" designation.

That is correct.  Although the actual production figures are probably closer to 42,000.  The Russians didn't keep nearly as good of records as the Germans did during WWII.  The 36,000 figure you often see quoted is what they figure the "low-end" of production was.
