Transcription
Made many different kind, types of air planes and they all were, some were better than others and certain things. The Spits were fast fighters and the Lanks were slow bombers and the Beau Fighters were low level night intruders. So it's like your, like your trucks on the highway, you have your pick-ups and you have steak jobs and big, big jobs. So you assigned a piece of equipment to do a certain kind of, certain kind of work. And the Beau Fighter was ideal for night so you got to fly high and carry 9mm cannons on each wing so they had good fire power, lots of, lots of gas so they could... They were, they were suited for that particular phase of operation. No good, no good for fighting other airplanes and things like that and no good for heavy bombing over, over Germany or something that they were just... You would, the aircraft you had, you would adapt it to do the work that could make the most, the most use.
