Sounds good!!

Would of maybe thought about purchasing it, but its fictional which doesnt really make it my cup of tea. But sound like a great read, cheers for the link

P-40 should be one of the tops as it was a top allied success story. Read General Chenault's Flying Tigers.

I would say from there P-38. It was a incredible plane!

I read a book with the almost an identical plot from the 60's. I cant remember the name but it was about a spitfire pilot who went missing in action over the channel in '41.

Subsequently, when his former squadron was under heavy attack and heavily outnumbered, an extra plane would appear out of the sun attacking the germans and shooting them down with ease. None of the squadron could identify the planes pilot as it had no markings (other than roundrils). No german pilots could get close enough to shoot it, and it always managed to evade any attacks on it. As soon as the battle was in the RAF's favour the plane would dissapear in to the coulds and not be seen again.

The story then takes off (pardon the pun) with the "quest" of one pilot to discover if the plane was his old squadron buddy, and what really happened to him on his fateful flight.

Pretty dumb question... but thats fiction right ? (just checking )

[Lexandro]

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.

plz remember!.. im so not fond of reading... but this sounds like a nice read for me

[play2often]

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?)
