Judging by the interest in German aircraft, I'm guessing there are a few Germans on here. I'm half German an was born in ten fatherland.
But have always been more interested in the aircraft in the Pacific war.

That was a labor of love to post all this, thanks. But like I tell all those jr nazis off Youtube, "They still lost the war!" And as usual I get, "Yeah but!"

 

[polywideblock]

I was just point out that the poor Germans did not get any breaks (they flew and until the were f*ck) and they were defending their homeland , at lest the allies got a break every so often

 

[kiwigtx]

here's a Pacific aircraft....

 

[snakeyes]

 

[Basket case]

same with the Japanese, a lot of them started fighting the Chinese, and flew until they were killed or injured too bad to fly. Even Saburo Sakai flew after loosing site in one eye.

I spy a PBY.....

I know, I was just bringing attention to the Nazis on youtube. One point about these totals is these pilots flew in the Spanish war and when the nazis steam rolled the Eastern Europe nations. They swept the skys of Polish aircraft before lunch. I also suspect some propaganda in these numbers as well.

This is where that XF82 was found as well as a second F82 also under restoration.
