I watched a show , that is actually on Google Video called Spitfire Ace. It was about 4 guys who started out to get the same training that the WW2 guys got. Their prize was basically to get to fly a spit 9 and learn the training they went thru back then.
It has a ton of history on the BoB. It was one of the best shows I have seen on the BoB ever.
In the O-Club forum there is a topic about an IL2 Video. When you clik on that you can fine the show to watch over on the right hand side in the list of other videos. It is cut into 4 48 min. parts.
I would encourage everyone who has the time to watch it. It was great.

It also comes up on the Miliitary and Histroy CHannels once in a while - I agree, great show with lots of historical footage. Makes you appreciate more when you read about those young men taking on the Luftwaffe with only 10 hours time in Spits - they must have all had big brass ones!
