The best answer is A. Let your escort fighters deal with the Germans. The new Mustangs are superb air superiority aircraft. They are fast, very maneuverable, fuel efficient, and heavily armed. They are more than a match for the Germans! November, 1944 to April 1945 Your squadron continues to focus on two types of missions - tactical support for the Canadian army fighting in Belgium and the Netherlands - and strategic missions attacking German cities. Great News! You have finally received Lancaster Mark Is to replace your Halifaxes. The Lancaster outperforms the Halifax in every way. It has a maximum airspeed is 470 kph, a huge standard bomb load of 6400 kg and an extreme bomb load of 10,000 kg(!), a maximum service altitude of 7500 metres ( above the maximum range of German flak guns) and an operational range of 2700 km. Even more important is the huge improvement in its flying characteristics and handling. For a big plane it handles beautifully.
