One thing that has always irked me about SH4 - why on earth is there a Lancaster in USAAF colours (a few years too early - afaik they left their planes unpainted from 1944 onwards) instead of a B17 or B24? And I don't think the Lancaster ever saw service in the PTO. Was there a copyright issue (I doubt it - MicroProse made a B-17 sim in 1992) or sheer laziness on the part of the devs?
