Under the "Tribute" type movie...Adolph Galland in the BofB

A magnificently accurate Skin of Galland's Bf109E-7/Z is now available thanks to WOTAN...See it here:
Bf109E-7/Z W.Nr.5189 (http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=29747)

There are MANY photos of Galland available. Also, a couple of News film clips of him and of this aircraft:

In a comment at the above youtube video, someone commented "Actually Galland did live up to his name, and that's from a British airman he saved. He was a believer in 'shoot the plane not the man'. So yes he was a gentleman. I read an account from the British pilot in question that having been shot down the 109 circled back towards him, he thought the pilot was going to shoot him off his parachute but instead he saluted him and circled, keeping other German fighters away until he knew the British pilot was safe. He found out it was Galland."
Now, that would be interesting to see in a Movie.

Lots of material there to give life/immersion to a Galland Tribute-type movie.
