Is there any documentation on Russian fighters/ Pilots fighting against Japonese fighters and pilots?

Seen the thread for worst movie. As for your girlfriend comiso90 your of course she likes it because it was made for women by the studios to grab more money.

Like to add final episode of Band of brothers. When the German General is speeking to his troops and gives his final speech. And still one of my favorite scenes in Empire of the sun when the young boy walks up to a Zero, at the airfield and the pilots salute him.

Yeah The japenese didn't have to attack in Pearl Harbour. The actors and and Directors sunk that movie all on their own. Can they be hung for treason by making that movie?

I'm Glad to see that although there was some good flight seens in Pearl Harbour no one has mentioned it. Terrible plot, that could have had so much promise. For that Battle I like the movie Tora Tora Tora. I also have to give mention to 12 O'Clock High Great bomber film.

Not sure if this belongs in this part of the forum but I will give it a shot. What you you think is the best Aviation movie that has been released as a major motion picture. Any era in aviation is welcome from biplanes to jets. I would like to say my top two are Battle of Britain a...

Not to be picky, Lucky13. But as you stated the those versions did not see service,and that was one of the terms of the thread. So the question now is, Is the Ar 234C a valid choice in this instance, or am I wrong. look forward to your reply

I was a little suprised at some of the choices for the Recon aircraft. I was wondering why the choice of the arado 234C over the mosquito. There is an obvious speed advantage. My reasoning for the mosquito would be the longer range and the servisability of the aircraft would be easier. Same...

I don't know if this has been covered before but I will put this to a test. If you had the chance to build and airforce from any plane from 1939-1945. What would your choice of planes be. Note you can choose planes from any country, during the time frame stated, and they must have seen...

FlyboyJ, At this moment I can't Remember who was the pilot on that day. If you are talking to him it was on July 2 2006. In Bar Harbour Maine U.S. By the way the movie clips on the above post are of the b-17 starting up. and taxiing hope you all enjoy.

Thanks for your comments evryone. EvenGlider I know how you feel when you flew in the Stearman. When I went to the Ottawa Aviation museum, You could buy a ride on the Stearman. It was another great time. Got a bit of a shock when you looked over the edge. But I still loved it. I'm hopeing to get...

Last year I was able to live out a dream of mine. I was able to take a flight in a B-17 (Sentimental Journey) that the Commemerative Air Force was flying. I must say it was a real thrill. After recently joining this website, I thought here are some people that could really enjoy some of these...

Thank you Glider. Is there any review of the Japonese aircraft from the Germans.

I ask the experts out there if there was ever a time when German pilots flew the Japonese Zero As well as vise versa? If so has there been any documented comments from either side.

OK I see that the focus has been mostly on the E.T.O. Let's move on and see what the Pacific has to offer. Shall we see if the Pacific has anything to offer. May I suggest the Japenese Tony fighter. fast, nimble, average firepower.
