I used to make Airfix 1/72nd scale models of all the WW2 a/c (gawd I am old!) as a kid. I would paint them and hang them from my ceiling as if they were in combat. I used to imagine flying them and what it was like to be a pilot. If someone told me back then that one day I would be able to buy a small box and it would enable me to sit in front of a thin flat screen and fly all of those ac I would have considered it science fiction. I remember the first Transistor radio and thought that was bloody amazing! I love my WW2 flight sims both on PC and XBox. Not really interested in anything else, including modern day fighters - just my WW2 Sims - a boyhood dream come true for me!

I doubt that there will ever be another conflict in which so many aviators give their lives - WW2 was a unique period in Military Aviation History.

yeah those days are long gone and never again. where boys 19 years old and up were put into the seat of the most advanced fighters and given the task to save their nation. now you have to have a college degree, etc., etc., etc.... and you also ( for the most part ) have a weapons tech in the aircraft too.
