Technically yes. However the story was based on reports from pilots during the Battle of Britain of "unknown" RAF aircraft taking on the Germans, and somehow managing to turn the fight in the RAF's favour. At the time many pilots believed that it was either a special wing that the RAF had, or it was something "else". Many speculated it was old wingmen come back from the grave, others that it was "ghost" aircraft with no pilot seeking vengance.

Whatever the case the story was a good one, I just wish I could remember the damn name of it.

thanks for the link to the book. i might actually read it.

BUT... lets get back on the topic of DLC. i was thinking that they could add a few single mission that take place during the battle for France early in the war, complete with french aircraft such as:

BLOCH MB-152C-1
Dewoitine D 520 (also used by Italy)
Morane-Saulnier M.S. 406

Also, I'd like to see the Russian Pe-2 and Tu-2. you can see the Pe-2 in the Berlin intro video.

Great planes guys - the thing I'd _really_ like in DLC though is a more varied set of training modes to give these planes a run in (or bots for online, which'd be the same thing in effect) - Or some single missions where you can choose a variety of planes to try them with, and can choose to fly on both sides (obviously sticking to historically accurate loadouts for the sides, no Lancs flying bomber runs for the Italians - but giving people a choice of Hurri II, Spit II, Spit IX, Spit XVI or Tempest say?)
