The CR 42 had a KDR of 12 to 1 against the Soviet Air Force on the Eastern Front and Although it's lack of speed was a problem, it's agility and ability to make sharp turns made it a great early war dog fighter.

I was at an airshow in the Midwest in 1987, saw an F-14 on the tarmac, pilot taking questions. He answered one to the effect "Only one aircraft in the world can beat us". I blurted out "F-15"... he just smiled knowingly. Yep, thought so.

I was shocked to hear him say the plane only flew for 15 minutes and not having enough water. My best guess after watching Pilot Brief you tube channel talking about people crashing like cessna's smaller civilian planes and the like. A big cause of crashes is being too heavy for the planes specs/over max takeoff weight. So he had mentioned the plane being 100 lbs overweight. I think they had to limit the liquid fuel and water on the plane. The ability to stop the plane so fast is probably because the engines have power on both strokes. You switch the engine in reverse it is instant. I'm pretty sure the cars just had a single piston engine and faster than any gasoline car of their era. Watch Jay leno drive like the 2nd model powered car the army used (1880s 90s tech) down the freeway (Maintain 65/100kmh like 55 horsepower or something) steam isn't no joke.

The way those steam cars were set up they were the fastest cars in the world in the 1920's. It has instant steam saying 5 minutes if it was like a boiler it would be like 1 hour. It takes just a couple minutes to get the fire going because they will heat the fuel before it comes out of the nozzle too which superheats it and like after like 2-3 minutes that starts going then another couple minutes and you are rolling. engines have a full power push on each direction of the stroke too. so 150 hp doesn't sound like a lot but it was probably ok power. Watched way too much of jay leno and his steam cars.

I recall an incident, as recounted in the book, "About Face" by Colonel David H. Hackworth, (US Army Ret) ; where he flew as an observer aboard an RAAF Canberra, where he noted the quantity of US service personnel lying on their backs in a field, which told him they were dead US soldiers, going on to further note how accommodating the RAAF pilot was in circling far lower than he would have anticipated, ignoring the reasonably heavy ground fire. He did not see this as reckless, but rather as a confident airman in a good aircraft, which could bear battle damage in pursuit of an objective. It equated with the Canberra's nimbleness and ease of control. Perhaps its finest hours were as high speed high altitude spy planes, flying from West Germany, or the UK, flying a profile well within Soviet Bloc for and photographic reconnaissance images, only to land in Turkey. As the Canberra could fly above the effective height of MIG-17 interception.

The Canberra is one of my favourites, and as it was part of our inventory in the RAAF, seeing highly successful service in Vietnam. I have seen one on a semiregular basis, parked just within the International air shows grounds, held in Melbourne. It is a particularly astonishingly small aircraft, very much bellying its 9 ton weight. I can certainly see its appeal to so many air forces of the world, in particular the USAF, who needed a craft with such unique abilities; both high altitude and high transonic speed. A real rip-snorter for reconnaissance, and bombing.

These type of steam engines don’t consume any water. The steam is expelled from the engine into a condenser radiator which delivers the same water back to the engine.
