Suppose someone was willing to give a modern air force a bunch of
planes from WWII. The Luftwaffe can have several hundred
Fw-190s. The US can have a pile of Catalina's (or DC-3s). The
British
can
have as many Mosquitoes as they want.

Are there any WWII aircraft that could still be useful in a modern
war?

Against a modern air defence system ?

Nope

Again, more words of ignorance spoken like the non-authority Keith is.
Hey Keith, it has already been done. On May 28, 1987 Matthias Rust, a
West German amatuer pilot, took his unarmed Cessna and flew 400 miles
through the USSR's air defenses (the world's greatest)to land on Red
Square.
We all know that if he had carried a nuke Moscow would have been
history.

I doubt you would volunteer to fly a Cessna into combat
in a modern air defence environment, I know I wouldnt

No US military pilot had ever or will ever accomplish a similar feat.


I would sincerely hope not. I dont relish the prospect
of global nuclear war.
