Well worth watching the whole thing. The impressive thing is most flew more types of aircraft than any other pilots during WW2!!

they had basically the same thing over here. these ladies would ferry ac from factories to bases or where ever they were needed. many of the ac were completely unknown to them...single engine and multi engine. they were given a manual and directions of where to go. they got them where they were supposed to in one piece. truely amazing ladies!

Sorry guys, that was just a clip, but you'll easily find the rest of it on youtube. About 45 min. good documentary all in all. It's got a cool dude in there with a few good comments. It was back in the days when a pilot should be a white mail you know. When two female pilots dogfight it's quite tempting to call it a... Yeah, right

WOP Airshow Video by Glodark 7
Hi all,
Time for some positive news from airshows. Glodark 7 has produced a new video using Wings of Prey and custom made skins. Enjoy! MAC Copied from the Gaijin forum: The Wings of Prey Airshow 2011 (a virtual airshow) I had the idea for this a while ago after the introduction of the flyby camera. I've been to a few airshows in recent years and thought it would be fun to try and create a virtual airshow using some of the warbirds from Wings of Prey. I've used a few filters and motion to try to give the video that hand-held-camera, spectator type of feel to it and used some actual airshow audio in parts to add to the illusion. Please forgive my meagre display of aerobatics. You'll see more rolls than in a bakery! Check out the P-51's screaming whine as it zooms past the camera! It displays the paintscheme of 'Big Beautiful Doll', sadly lost at Duxford this year. You'll also notice that this aircraft is predominant in the video. It gave me the best angles and the reflections on that chrome surface are very nice! Special thanks to Fenris and MadMass for the skins. Crank up the volume! Glo Please go to the Youtube page (bottom right icon) for HD viewing option or download the HQ 720p file below. Hiqh quality download link (WoP_Airshow.mp4 , 33.46MB, 720p)  On display today: D-Day Spitfire LF IX, MK392, originally flown by Wing Commander ‘Johnnie’ Johnson, OC No144Wg, Ford, England, June 1944. - Aircraft skin recreated by Fenris P51D 78th Big Beautiful Doll - Aircraft skin recreated by MadMass P-47D, “No Guts No Glory”, originally flown by Captain Ben I. Mayo Jr., CO of 82nd FS, 78th FG, 8th AF, Duxford, England, June 1944 - Aircraft skin recreated by Fenris Last edited by MACADEMIC; 09-20-2011 at 10:08 AM.

A bit bored at work I stumbled over this story by Jeremy Clarkson; "Operation Chariot". It's got nothing to do with planes or aviation, but never the less tells the story of some extraordinary men!
