Speaking of movies and WW2.. December 26th is the release date for a movie called "Valkyrie" with Tom Cruise. The Warhawk Museum in Nampa, Idaho originally had an event scheduled with flight demonstrations of four P40 aircraft, including the museum's own. The event was abruptly cancelled early this summer due to the planes being used in this movie's production.

Somehow, I doubt Tom lives in New Hampshire. Maybe a Scientoligist commune?

Tom Cruise is everywhere, man.




Everywhere.

Really dumb question: did P40s even operate in the ETO?  (The film is about the assassination attempt against Hitler.)

[tech9]

"P-40s first saw combat with the British Commonwealth squadrons of the Desert Air Force (DAF) in the Middle East and North African campaigns, during June 1941.[2] [3] The Royal Air Force's No. 112 Squadron was among the first to operate Tomahawks, in North Africa, and the unit was the first to feature the "shark mouth" logo,[4] copying similar markings on some Luftwaffe Messerschmitt Bf 110 twin-engine fighters."

Im sure its a total butchery of history. I wondered for a long time how they make Cruise look bigger then his 5'2" size and then I remembered the Hulk series...

Yes, the earliest I can think of is the French (known as Hawk 75's and Hawk 81's).

IIRC the release of this movie has already been put off more than once.

There ya go.
