Edwin P. Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 Did Turkey or Spain have an Air Force of comparable size to Sweden's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill101 Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 I know that the Spanish received a good fighter from Germany, possibly later in the war. It was either a different version of the famous 109, or a similar plane. I can't remember the name of it (He112?), but as Spain had just finished a civil war in 1939 it is likely that they had quite a few aircraft around, albeit of varying quality. One thing the Spanish would have had, over and above most other countries, is recent war experience. A good argument could be made for having the Spanish troops start with some experience.

Liam Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 Not sure of Swedish, Spanish or Turkish Airforces. Likely biplanes... Then again not the only, the Russians and Polish too <Interesting quote from Airforce Myths to downgrade the value of our Role of Carriers SC http://www.mikekemble.com/ww2/aircraft.html> Myth: "The Fairey Swordfish flew so slowly that naval anti-aircraft guns couldn't track it." - ALL the attacking Swordfishes in the 'Channel Dash' incident were shot down, mostly by AA fire.
