I was thinking the same thing too. I'll settle for a Dutch aircrew though.

I'm going to say not a Blenheim or Beaufort, the top of the cockpit looks wrong for either of those.

Must concur, along with the flying kit and a pilot only set of controls (uniquely German if I recall). Perhaps export German used by the Dutch? On the other hand, the earphones look British. I am not an "experten" but this is fun.....

I'm not going to say a P-51D Mustang, as the top of the cockpit looks wrong for that one too.

The control yoke and canopy framing look very similar to those found on a Dornier Do-17, but I can't see what connection there would be to the Pacific War. [&:]

Their is no conection, Apoligies one and all, I was in hury this morning and took my source at face value, originaly labaled as a Do-24, this is definatly not, and I am convinced after some considerable looking around it is almost certainly a Do-17.

I should of spoted the canopy as being suspect right off.

That's mildly comforting because my first guess was a Do-17 as well.

Uh-uh. No way, jack. You don't get credit for guesses that you don't put down in writing on Brady's brain benders, bub. [:'(]

Brady may have been co-opted by the German's in the Pacific modding lobby. Or maybe Matrix is considering an Atlantic/Med version of the game...
