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 #history was compressed in the mere 6 years between #Hitler invading Poland September 1, 1939 and Japan formally surrenders ending #WW2 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.
