Yep! about 80% of the German army was built up of surplus American stuff. Quite a bit of the Luftwaffe as well now I come to think of it.
Well in History according to Hollywood at least.

At least they made the attempt to make them look like Tigers.

It's something that I find a bit annoying. Even the BoB movie does it for me. I can live with the CASA 2.111s in place of He 111s but the Buchons for Bf 109s are just WRONG.
Still a great film,I watched it again recently. How many times does the same radio controlled Ju 87 explode and lose its wings?
Cheers

I watched BoB this morning and was thinking to myself those 109's look a little thin!Originally posted by \It's something that I find a bit annoying. Even the BoB movie does it for me.

I know what you mean.I think it's because the engine is upside down. From the engine back they are pretty much a 109 but the nose throws the whole thing off. Never mind the aeroplanes and the amazing air to air photography,the best bit for me was alway Susannah York in her undies :music_whistling:Originally posted by \I watched BoB this morning and was thinking to myself those 109's look a little thin!Comment

Is Suzannah Yorke in her undies in that one as well? I can't remember seeing the movie in the last 2 or 3 decades so can't remember much about it at all!Originally posted by \Dont watch the guns of Navarron (?) then. Ian MComment

Steve the 'in cockpit' action shots of the He111 do you like them ? I do! and that mock cockpit is still in the UK at East Kirkby, Lincolnshire.Originally posted by \It's something that I find a bit annoying. Even the BoB movie does it for me.
