Wow -- impressive.

Yes, not accurate in several ways, but . . . wow!  thanks for posting.

Also, Coombz, thanks for posting the link to the animation.  That was great, too.

Stupid script, cartoonish modelling, also poses the usual trouble in depicting high speed aircombat in a viewer friendly way.

These stupid fighter pilot oxygen masks used in BoB are responsible for many deaths due to… lack of oxygen. You see every time a pilot tried a high g climb or turn they had a serious tendency to slip away from the face. The pilot then had to hold his mask with his one hand leaving throttle while the other hand hold the stick. Many pilots passed away due to lack of oxygen or because they were unable to adjust throttle because the had to keep the mask on their face. A very very stupid way to loose precious pilots during war. What RAF should have done is to execute the manufacture.
