• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

I don't know if copied this so everyone can see it. It's new to me. Everything in red type was contained in an email to me.


Short film: THE GERMAN






Incredible four minute footage of a desperate Spitfire vs. ME-109 dual. You feel like you are there! Amazing computer work blended in with real photography.

Also an interesting factual story that most of us did not know. History is rarely 'over'.

Now sit back and strap on your parachute harness ... it is the Summer of 1940 over the skies of England . Listen to the perfect 'purr' of the Rolls Royce Merlin .....

Watch this full screen. It’s very well done. [BTW, the Brit is the guy with the mustache.]

Looks interesting...must watch again when a bit more download space happens....just a little stuttery on my 'puter.
 
Interesting twist...should have been named "The Irish". Goes to show how much airspace an extended, one-on-one dogfight can cover with two good pilots goin' at it.
