I highly suspect it will be full of false bravado, chest thumping, and Cuba Gooding making large ostentatious face grimaces.

Probably, but then again its a movie.

Trailer looks GREAT!!!!!

Correct me on this, but is that emblem in the 109 correct? Looks like a backward SS emblem.

Love the trailer. You always must remember that cgi and aircraft markings will look unrealistic because that is what the public is familiar with. The 109s look like they're from the Battle of Britain. That's because thats where the majority of people identify them from. There seem to be no 190s, because the 190 could be mistaken for an American aircraft in German markings, also because the 109 is much uglier, portraying that good bad guy look.

Hollywood will always do cartoonish cgi because it is exciting.

Did the 332nd ever actually encounter 262s?

I think 2 or 3 332nd pilots got 262 kills

Three pilots were given credit for one jet each on 24 March 1945, after 4 months without a kill.

Somewhere, someone has insisted "yellow noses, dem 109s gotta have yellow noses." Emblem does indeed look like a mirrored SS death's head.

I wonder if the old "never lost a bomber" chestnut will be perpetuated...

... 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

They got some of the first jet kills of the war.

Trying to remeber if some Jg group had the emblem.  But it is safe to safe that they are "Gustav" 109, look 2x 20mm gondolas. 





Thumsdown on the skin 262 and 109 look the same.  Did not see any 190, 110, or 410.
