History the german

Yes, I should watch it again but first he said "My leg!" then he keeps saying "Put the pistol away" "Please". Then he said "enough" and "I am Friedrich _____, 26th Schlageter" "I'm an officer in the Luftwaffe"

 

In the beginning of the video it looks like the Spitfire has 2 cannons, I believe during the Battle of Britain the Spitfires and Hurricanes had 8) .303 cal. machine guns, 4 in each wing. Also I read that the British just recently converted there aircraft to 3 blade variable pitch propellers. That made a big difference in the battle.

As a German-American and historian we will look back on this time period and the liberals as the Germans look back at the nazis.

 

That's out of line, Helmut.

 

Best ending to a short film since the movies of the 40's, Thanks

 

It had me on the edge of my seat.
Thanks for posting.

 

Right on target Helmut

There is a Mk16 Spit next door at http://www.fantasyofflight.com/ currently undergoing maintenance so I expect to see it in the air this year.
Mk16 had 2 50 caliber Browning machine guns and 2 20mm Hispano cannons plus 1,000 lbs of bombs or rockets.

Here's a pic from last Thursday of Kermit 'buzzing' the Direct TV blimp in a P-51C 'red tail'. He was hosting 3 Tuskegee Airmen for a "They Dared To Fly' symposium.





And for the history buffs; Who was the chick that solved a problem on the Rolls Royce
Merlins before they had fuel injection and what was her fix called?
