42 von 48!

(well I did not know 4 of the planes and twice made stupid mistakes, so only got the 42 from 48 score)


Do not cheat and stand for your errors:

Well if one pays attention, you are right Dili, a bit too easy for experts in fora like that

Although I admit some of those were "multiple guess" questions that I wouldn't have got were it fill-in-the-blank.

The multiple choice option made it possible.

Many images are really of bad quality, have some strange crops or are lousy CGI images.
There's actually a major fauxpax in the later series images, what they claim to be a Do 217 is actually the older Do 17. The 217 is a fair amount larger although overall appearance is similar.

Btw. the aircraft descriptions are actually not that bad, compared to others on mainstream sites.

However there is also a quiz about WW2 and I found at least 3 "correct" answers there a bit questionable...

One being the end of ww2 , they say it is may 45. but this was only the end of the european war. (DISREGARD, I was wrong they actually name both dates!)
2nd being most casualities (overall not only soldiers), they say it was the USSR, but was it not China?
3rd being the hardest battle of the US, they say it was the Ardennes, but was it not some pacific actions or even Hurtgenwald?

Edit, a 4th may be, which famous US leader did lead the troops in the ardennes and in france, their answer is Patton, but he only commanded an army (right?). Even Bradley would be more correct as he commanded an army group, but it would be Eisenhower right?

Got 47 out of 48 but I'll say that the 3 choice multiple guess was a help too.

otherwise, by simple "roundel" deduction you can get most of all

Some were incredibly easy, some were really hard, and some just required process of elimination (IE I know its not this or this, so it has to be that).
