Comet A34 Cruiser (1944) armed with the high velocity 77mm anti tank gun, a modified version of the infamous 17 pounder with a shorter shell to fit into the smaller tank.

New Il-2 Sturmovik video:

Slowly developing my (very rudimentary) ground attack skills.

Low level attack in an Ilyushin Il-2 'Sturmovik' 1941 (1 series) armed with RS-82 rockets on German armour approaching Moscow.

Got a bit close to the ground, but happy overall. Definitely need more strike practice, though!

Margo and Richard Ryen in a scene from “Gangway for Tomorrow” (1943) — a fascinating anthology film about how five wartime airplane workers ended up in the carpool to the factory. Margo’s story of an escape from Nazi-occupied France is the most harrowing.

New Il-2 Sturmovik video:

Wanted to fly the Nakajima Ki-84c Hayate ('Gale') again, as I had a really good experience with it last time.

I took it into a head-to-head dogfight against the Lockheed P-38L Lightning.

Given the American twin-engine fighter's performance and record in the Pacific, I didn't expect the Ki-84 to achieve such swift success!

A great deal of human was compressed in the mere 6 years between invading Poland September 1, 1939 and Japan formally surrenders ending on September 2, 1945. And Japan's surrender followed the Great Kantō Earthquake of September 1, 1923 by just 22 years. Beware of the start of September?

New Il-2 Sturmovik video:

Flying the Messerschmitt Bf 109G-2 (in North African campaign colours) against the Supermarine Spitfire Vc (trop.) over the Mediterranean Theatre of Operations in 1942.

Tough fight, but beautiful little video.

La bande dessinée est aussi un remarquable vecteur de transmission. L'album consacré au réseau Comète en est l'illustration. Plus de 800 aviateurs alliés renvoyés en Angleterre pendant la guerre. @bamboo_edition
