That was an incredible film. Its rather sad that directors can't invest a few more million to build some of those glorious birds to make a real WWII film, instead of this animated junk we have now.

Animation can come extremely close to capturing reality. But in the end, it never is reality.

Yeah, I love that movie. I lose the original disc ever two or three months, lol, but I keep a copy on my i-Pod just in case :)

Well once again I was wrong. I just watched the movie and there are not any 109s around the 111s in the sequences of the youtube film I linked to. They did escort the group across the channel but once the 111s were engaged the 109s were not there.

Excellent movie!  :aok

I'm guessing it's a Dornier.

No, it has the same wing and aft fuselage of the He-111.  It looks like a civilian He-111 with a glass nose to enable level bombing, maybe some of these were used in the spanish civil war?

He-111 B,C, and D. The nose we're all familiar with wasn't introduced until the He-111H.

However, almost all long-noses were phased out before the LW entered the war with Britain. I read that it increased top speed noticably as well (the later nose, I mean).

I built that Roden model kit, too!  :O

More importantly, the new nose also noticeably increased the aesthetics of the aircraft.
:P
Those long noses are ugly!

9 minutes of film and I didn't see a single Bf 109 or 110? :confused:
