Damn straight. Look good, sound good.

I quite agree. And that was a particularly deft turn of phrase.  I'd happily read more narrative content like this - where the writer can write - and fewer 'fill in this form' generic reviews

That quote works for most German luxo-barges...  AMG S63/BMW 760iL anyone?  0-60 in under 4 seconds...

Agreed, great article. Loved the story nature of it. More please.

(pedantic Mr. picky warning: P-51s didnt hunt zeppelins in WWII. Zeps were a WW1 thing. An appropriate target for a P-51 would be a Heinkel.)

If driving an Alfa does not restore vitality to your soul, then just pass the hospital and park at the morgue to save everyone time.

Now drives a Jaaaaaaag...and thus will not pay for anything during an outing...but it is OK, because....I drive a Jaaaaaag.

Specifically, a Heinkel-111 or -177.  Focke-Wulf Condor as well.

Yep those were the German bombers, few models that they were. Although realistically, none of those were really flying in force by the time the P51 was in theatre. The Luftwaffe were on the defensive on the Western Front by the time D-Day came around.

I know! I wrote that thinking, "Well this is going to bother people," but I figured easier to bother a few (fellow) plane nerds than try to explain to the average reader about He-177s and Condors.

Thanks for the kind words everyone, I'll be looking to do more narrative stuff going forward.
