Very nice Larry, that's one of my favourite ever screens, testament to the amazing beauty of this sim, it's almost as good as a painting.

Not precisely a screenshot..
A long time ago I cut out this illustration from a old 1940 copy of LIFE Magazine.I always liked it because it was so different from other aviation art paintings I'd seen around back then esp. on model box tops. I thought the illustrator had done his homework on the aircraft as well.Now thanks to CloD we can all get closer or even better than this , but because the artist did it "by hand' it still stands up pretty well.Larry's pice up above sort of remended me of it... http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1...ps7bd3d624.jpg |

However, 8 months later the wingman was killed. Six month afterwards the other one was shot down and captured. |

You talk about these two men. C/O Douglas Bader and Willie Mc Knight (right). http://i1364.photobucket.com/albums/...ps5eb02a1d.jpg I thougt Crowley Milling (Hurricane P3175 LE-M) was Bader`s Wingman. http://i1364.photobucket.com/albums/...psb28fdd7f.png Larry69 |
I googled who in the world could be the other guy in the Hurricane beneath/under McKnight. I-net came up with the name Bader among others.
So it was a wild guess. I wonder if i would attack a large He111 group from 6 high. A good number of pilots suggest a (low) 12 head-on attack in this situation.. as can be seen at 2:48 in this movie clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhmFFtjB2qY |
