What axis airplane were fighter pilots most fearful to go up against?
Q: Sir: Silly question, when going to Europe during WWII how were the fighters ferried to the theater? What route and how long did it take? A: Queen Elizabeth ship - took almost a week. 15,000 troops,5000 sleepin', 5000 eatin', & 5000 pukin'

I've always heard it was the Focke-Wulf FW 190, evident by the nickname it was given - "The Butcher Bird", but it would be very interesting to hear what a contemporary has to say on the matter.

I imagine many card games on bunks, cigarette smoke, and girly mags being passed around (or maybe I’ve seen too many movies idk).

My dad came home from WWII ETO on a Liberty Ship in December 1945. Said it took 19 days in rough weather, & there were a bunch of Texans aboard playing "Yellow Rose of Texas" repeatedly. He & a pal threw it overboard one night.

My biggest concern when I saw photos of all those troops on the large ships was U-Boats. Couldn’t even image...and don’t want to.
