Hey Rob--

OK, here goes:

Axis: Flying--Junkers 88; Display--Mitsubishi G4M "Betty"

British: Flying--Vickers Wellington; Display--Short Stirling

US: Flying--Martin B-26 or Douglas A-20; Display--Douglas TBD

(Would also be nice to see an Il-2/10 or a Pe2 flying...and of course a Mosquito in the air again would be a sight for sore eyes anywhere...)

I'll only pick flying examples, since I would like to see at least one of EVERY aircraft on display somewhere.

US: later model B-26 or a P-61 (technically a "fighter" I suppose, but it's size is fairly similar to most medium bombers)

British: Halifax

Japanese: Betty

German: Ju88

Can't think of a Gotha that fits that description. Are you thinking of the Messerschmitt Me-321 or the powered Me-323?
