It is MAGNESIUM, which is NOT Aluminum.
I have seen plenty of pictures of burned remains of aircraft, but the wing tips and tails do not suffer burn damage.
Only where fuel, oil, and other combustible material exist is the aluminum melted.
Standard aircraft design, even at that time, was to eliminate any combustible structure and skin in the engine area. Common safety practice. |
You are right but Oleg is talking about something else I am sure--- He wouldn't make an entire German airforce in the game lit up like roman candles. would he? lol
