    Apologies for the rather morbid thread, but I wanted to get a perspective on how heavy the Luftwaffe's losses were during the war. Are numbers available for: Total served Total killed Total captured Total surviving pilots still serving at the end of the war. I would be grateful if you...

    Bf109 raised off northern Norway

    Ha! That certainly sounds like he shot down a P-51 of the 357th Fighter Group. :lol:

    Aircraft Camouflage: Germans vs Americans

    I've read several combat reports were either the German pilot says 'I lost him, probably because of the camouflage of my aircraft' Or from the US side 'Unfortunately then I lost him becasuse of the camouflage of his aircraft' So no doubt the camouflage did have the desired effect in many...

    Not often seen Bf-109 photos

    Hello, you might be aware of this site: Falcon's Messerschmitt Bf 109 Hangar. It has a monumental photography collection, every time I visit something new pops up.

    IL2 Forgotten Battles Screenshots...

    ''Most of my simming and screenshots are actually for making novel storyboards. Hence panoramic style, individual shots feature heavily. In my story aircraft play the roles of characters as much as people '' Are we talking anthropomorphic airoplanes here? Could you clarify a bit please...
