Not sure if anyone's linked to this film before. Shows start up sequence with talk through of pre take off and cockpit checks. Air combat and strafing footage with dubbed on sounds. Interesting for those who haven't seen this film before.

Wonderful!
It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

It's quite something eh? Some of the shots of jugs attacking ground targets are from the ground. I'd like to know how they managed to get such amazing colour film so close to the target.

Those last two ordinance drops 3:20 - 3:35 look like napalm
