Of possible interest?

You don't see this much!

Hey guys,

I shared this with Shadow Wolf, but I thought this would be of possible interest:
 
Impressive Rami! Now that's how you fight with an Airacobra, against a vastly superior aircraft, the FW-190. I was hoping to see his 37mm in action, as I learned that most of the Cobra's on the Ostfront were equipped with for ground support duties. I was always impressed with how well the Russians did with the Cobra against 109's and 190's when other allies, including the US, were quick to discard it for the new stuff.

Shadow Wolf 07 - third guy from the left, "Lightning" in Red Tails, right? :loyal:

Hi Bearcat241:
It has been a while since I've seen anything from you. Yes...:wiggle: I've also wondered why the western allies were so quick to drop the P-39. But Soviet production capacity and the demand needed to cover the largest land war in human history, left them eager to take and utilize everything Lend Lease provided. The only film I've noticed them was in "Air Force."
 
Thanks Chaps - I've never seen that documentary before. My dad was ground crew with 75 Squadron at Milne Bay.
 
If you go on youtube and hit the history button there are a lot of these documentaries.I haven't looked at them all.

I also found Tora,Tora,Tora on it.
