His text is familiar :noid

Anyway, I can dig up some text on the 110 tomorrow. It's in German and originates from no less than Werner Mölder's brother. I belive he may be alive still. Got this from the German fliegergemeinschaft.

Wait and squirm :D

You need macromedia flash player,

It's well worth it!!!!

Harry - You do realise that most of the low level missions the Mossie is renowned for were carried out by a mixture of B IV and FB VI?

Mosquitos were hardly the Fairy Battles you make them out to be.



If I recall correctly, one of the mossies crashed on takeoff, and two were shot down by flak.

As always, my four year-old daughter insists I include: :rolleyes: :cry :huh :rofl :eek:


Edit - Actually, now that I look, I can't find a reference for the one which is supposed to have crashed. Will have a look in Separate Little War, see if there's a reference.

... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB

The Copenhagen raid was both a success and a catastrophy, for one mossie crashed into a school building, and some two were mislead by the fire and dropped their bombs into it. 100 people dead. However, Gestapo's Archives destroyed, and I think some prisoners escaped.
The Aalborg raid was much better, leaving a hospital only a 100 metres from the target unscratched. There was a very succesful raid on Gestapo HQ in Oslo as well I belive, and on the IWM I saw a film which was a Gestapo HQ raid in the French countryside.
The narrative with the film is in Danish by the way ;)

Know what would be nice if there was a rhyme or reason for the mossie or the 110 to flatspin or tailslide.

Last night upped in my 110g2, with the bee on the nose to take out a low IB lanc, he must have been aroun 9k or so, as I am climbing through 6k I notice a dot on the ground under him about 2k off the gorund, I figure it might be a goon so I level and dive slightly. I get in vis and its another 110 coming in, I level about 3,5k and he goes for the HO, I pull up and try to get him to follow me in a spiral, He sprays and a hit takes out my starboard engine, but no matter I can outfly this dweeb on one engine, sure enough I do and stitch him nose to tail, suddenly as I level off from my attack, I stall while inverted and go into a tailslide maybe 2k of the ground. Grr I think I outfly this dweeb on 1 engine and the porked FM gets me after I kick his arse, anyways I manage to recover and start to level about 400 ft up, when it snaps again and goes into the flatspin. Luckily he crashed about 4 seconds before I did.

Furball, the slanderous nick goes back about 4 years or so to the old OnWar board.

So if harry is making a claim he was the first, then Kurfy has a new nick here. ;)

I don't let it get to me considering the source(s) of the slander.

Harry is not Kurfurst.

I don't know who he is, but he has expressed concern with and knowledge of things specific to Aces High, something Kurfurst never did.  Not once.

Thus while he may be of like mind, he seems to have a more direct interest in AH than Kurfurst did.

Whether he is or is not, is irrelevant.  Each handle on the BB will stand on its own merit, unless it is quite obvious the owner is trying to circumvent a ban from the board.
Let's stop the witch hunt folks.  Leave that to us. :)

2 years ago a flight school was in AZ was shut down when 3 died doing an engine out stall in a twin that resulted in a flat spin.  Bet they were as surprised as you were in you 110
