Tonight (01/29), WGBH is showing a documentary on TV regarding the german fighter aircraft. Read description of documentary below for more info. Live in Westport, MA on the East Coast and don't know what schedule is for rest of the country. Haven't flown one online mile in AH and have done all my flying offline, but thought that the documentary would be of interest to the AH community. Enjoy:
World War II: Battleforce
German Fighters
This is the fascinating story of the role of the fighter aircraft within the German Luftwaffe. This program provides detailed exploration of the development and operational use of such aircraft as the superb Messerschmitt BF109, one of the great fighters of the war, and the Focke-Wulf Fw190, an excellent fighter that first saw service in 1941. Also explored is what might have been if chaotic administration had not delayed the use of the ME262, the world's first jet fighter, beyond usefulness in combat.
