Day in the Life of Jg.77 in Colour

[fubar57]

First bit is a bunch of saluting followed by an officer handing out Valentines cards....I think. Aircraft start around the 19 minute mark. Really nice shots of camo colours

Watched it the other day. Agree on the useful colour footage.

It is a long video, obviously staged for the most part. I laughed when one pilot was preparing for take off and he closed his canopy.....on his shoulder harness

Great find Geo.
One interesting scene near the end showed a pilot with a P.08 holster on his belt (normally used by bomber aircrew), and it must have been rather uncomfortable wearing a relatively bulky Luger in that cockpit. No wonder they later changed to a Walther PPK.

I could not decipher the cursive script they were using but it appears the main character is Hannes Trautloft, which makes sense as he would have been Staffelkapitan at that time.

I watch videos like this and my mind wanders to "I wonder how many of these guys survived the war?"

Nice one!

I wonder what was in the soup/stew they were served. It looked like it had noodles!
