HARVS on the way - shot by a P-47. Rare shot.


Deck crew climbing up to get the pilot out. He did. That’s a fuel tank his foot is on. Empty?

German V1



Spitfire "tipping-off" a V1. If you've never heard of this insane tactic ....

At first V1's were shot down by gunfire. Optimum range was inside 200yds, which was marginal for survival. Many planes were damaged and quite a few pilots killed. Basically at such high speed and low altitude a plane had to fly though the explosion and hope.

 
With the high risk of being blown up some of the best pilots started tipping the V1's wing, because of damage to wing tips they later developed a tactic of disrupting the aitflow by placing their wing very close to the V1's wing, causing it to topple.

Not every pilot did this. At night this was not possible, the flame from the V1 blinded the pilot to everything else, though some Mossie pilots flew past closely in front of the V1, again causing it to topple. The thought of doing this at 450mph, 4,000 feet above the ground, at night and being blinded gives me the willies.

The Officers Club seemed the logical place to post this...but it is not the perfect place...

What the BBS lacks is WW2 Historical forum for posting images and discussing history of machines, equipment, battles etc

Maybe Skuzzy can warp HiTech into adding another forum explicitly dedicated to the discussion of historical content

Great pics - thought those Italian planes were SM.79s though?

... 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

This image is not from 1945.. This photo dates to 1950 or later as there are AD Skyraiders on deck and the Skyraider was certainly post war. This is a Korean War photo.

Easy guys...

If you have issues keep it clean

I simply got this set of images in an email

Perhaps I should check with Wild Wing before hosting the images and posting them out?

Take a breather and temper your come backs
