That's right some of the Russian aeroplanes were great but you never see anything of them on TV.

Might have been to do with the whole communist thing that the Russians had going on I think the west didn't like it ;)

How wild would it be to see Yaks and 109s in a film about the air conflict in Russia.

S!

Do not get bored waiting for an unbiased documentary of VVS planes ;) :rolleyes: If made by Russians the plot is: (insert pompous orchestral music here) Our fearless Guards Regiment pilots in their mighty and best in ALL world planes wiped out the scum nazis everywhere they appeared. The nazis could nothing but fall for the guns of our Patriotic pilots. (fading pompous orchestral music with a La or Yak flying + the Red Flag) :grin:

It would be nice to see a documentary of the Red side as they are scarse. Those floating around are so stuffed with communist propaganda that it is VERY hard to watch them past titles. Another less covered area is Pacific. The men who flew during WW2 are getting fewer in an increasing rate and soon there is no-one to tell about it how it was. Many untold stories will fade, a shame today's people have forgotten who were the men and women making it possible for us to have a life we have now..

For decades nothing then this one Documentary came along Battle Of Britain The Real Story. It seams like it's been taken down off of youtube for some reason but I downloaded it and put up this clip. If you have Utorrent you should be able to download this Doc. It's the best one on this subject I've ever seen.

Who do I have to kill to get a job there. Amazing. Such beautiful machines. The Yak has amazing lines. I had a double take with the 109 with the Rolls-Royce engine. I first thought the exaust pipes were sitting to high on the engine cowl. A closer lock reveled the Rolls-Royce stamp on the rocker covers.

That's a Buchon. It was built in Spain, it's a copy of a 109, the Spanish Air Force flew them for decades after WW2.

That Bouchon belonged to Harold Kindersvater in the States but it's in Germany now. I wonder if they'll hang a Daimler Benz on it. That would be great. Now a days when airframes need repair it looks they have all the goodies to make things right.
