Anyway you can get to a 20 degree deflection shot like the Encounter report?
Lot easier to kill the pilot and punch the fuselage fuel tank

These guys are the skins that need to be the best out of the best 8 Dave....
If u could possibly add something to Amons Crate???? The Pik' As Badge... I think its quite possible that the loaner aircraft Gelbe 23 was an older kite that hadnt yet had it removed.... It'll be a cool touch.....
And of course include Baers plane with those 3.....

Glad ya' like 'em!
It would have been cool to have the rest of the pilots, but as it stands, these are the key players, so they'll get all the attention, so it all works out well enough.
Now pretty much all that's left is for you to put the peices together!

Good luck on that, unless someone has one in a personal collection somewhere, he just doesn't exist in photograph form...I've been looking off and on for weeks...

Well, I finally got some time to get Dan's hobbies re-ignited.... Ive now got the video to the next stage, thank u Jesus....
And lemme tell ya, that first kill took forever to get right, literally 100 recorded engagements before it worked out well enough to go in the vid....
So, to summarize, Ive gotten the 109 formation, the dive into the bomber stream, the death of the B-24 Pleasure Bent, dropping of the aux fuel tanks and dive after the fleeing 109's, and the first kill including guncam footage....
Now its just a matter of workin the vid into the second kill and subsequent strafing by Johnson of Berts second kill....

Can't wait to see it!

Hey guys,
sorry for picking up such an old thread.
Im an archaeologist from germany and while my youngest researches i found parts of a Messerschmitt BF109, shot down at Krumbach near Giessen in central Hessia. I was able to identify them as parts of Lt. Dieter Harpels Plane, who crashed on september, 11th 1944 an survived wounded. Just 800m far from Harpels Plane we found the BF109 of Flieger Fritz Weinzierl who died and is buried in Fellingshausen
While my researches for Lt. Harpel, i found your board. I dont know, how scientific your work is, but in fact, it makes a difference between crashing near Nürnberg or chrashing near Giessen of roundabout 300 km. If there is any academic interest, think about a revision of your argumentation.
With kind regards,
Thomas

Hi negeos. Thanks for sharing your info. A few of these guys are really scientific, writing history books, so I'm sure they'll be happy to know this. It would be great if you could share some pictures of your finds somewhere on the forum. I'm sure some really would appriciate that, at least I would
