BIG I cranckt up my grafic card 2 the limit 2 show you this, so..take a look ! / click 2 or 3 times for full view Click on BIG ect/ ..altso se album : HERE Just re-saw the film "Menphis belle", a very simpel but, as far as i know, the only remotly realistic film about the american bomber flet under WWII. The film is quite simpel about 1.mission, but the 25. for the Menphis belle. (a B-17 bomber, crew 9) If crews had performed 25 missions, they could "go home". Very few lived 2 see that day ! 250.000 planes flew over europa in that "blody war", and an estimate is that 200.000 pilots and crewmen died (from all nations in total). I'm facinated with planes and the consept of flying, NOT war! This film is a straight forward reminder of how simpel an brutal war could be. Below some pictures ...and more about the film ... I'll try 2 "take picture from my game, where B17's only are AI planes, so the pic will be from an escort plane/P-51)

Here are a screenshot from my current(updated game)Pacific Fighters/ IL sturmovik. You can also go to PHOTO's, where there is a new - Photo-album with 15 highres screenshots. Notice the awesome firepower, 4 cannons and 4 heavy machineguns, and could carry up to 4 500kg bombs, 2 in fuselage, and 2 under wings, and still fly very fast (mostly made off wood!) The Mosquito was NOT included in the original game (was actually 5 CD's in all, with all the upgrades and extras) The good thing now is that you can buy the hole game on one DVD (big advantage!)
