This two engined medium airliner was designed in USA but served the RAF during WWII, more specifically, in the war in north africa and before US participation in the war. The airliner carried 50 passnengers aka british generals and a few fighter aces of North Africa. I made this plane when I was in school and I was messing around with a bunch of other friends, so this isn't very detailed but i find it good enough :-) This is very manuverable and it takes off really quickly (120mph takeoff speed) with a top cruising speed of around 250mph. Well, have fun guys, dont forget to leave comments and tell me what to make next! Really! Kinda out of Ideas...
