Snobby ignorance removed a great tactician. How many of the snobs personally flew to their air bases each week to check how the pilots were doing? Skipper did. As he points out, the smaller wings won the day on all 3 fronts he was involved with. One of the true heroes of the war. RIP Sir Keith Park. The world owes its freedom to you.

on connaît Closterman et on l'admire. Son jugement, son regard, son courage. Mais son dernier commentaire sur 14-18 me fait plaisir car il y a longtemps que je pense que nos chefs militaires sont responsables de la tuerie. faire sortir des hommes armés d'une baïonnette face à des mitrailleuses ! Et il y a encore des places et des rues Joffre et consorts !

That third piece of audio is a classic - cut in wax by a BBC sound engineer stuffed in the rear fuselage of F-Freddy of 207 Sqn flown by Sgt Ken Letford, with Wynford Vaughn Thomas recording his impressions 4 mikes high over Berlin 3/4th Sept 1943

FYI: While P-51 Mustangs were in active use in Korea, the “New” USAF used different paint schemes for them. The P-51s included in this video are from the 352nd Fighter Group which was deactivated in November 1945 - a full 5 years before The Korean War officially started. P-51 Korean liveries are and were available for the making of this video.

A story I recently read from a Lancaster Squadrons history👇 In the mid sixties my family and I were sitting in a small cafe in Spalding, Lincolnshire. Seated at another table sitting with his family was a very distinguished looking gentleman with a big handle bar moustache. My mother remarked that he kept looking at her. As he got up to leave he came over and said to mum, your Mary Wright aren't you? Mum said she was. He then said, the last time I saw you, you were in my office on a charge. Apparently she had been in charge of the ribbons denoting the Wing Commanders aircraft which were fixed to the wings and as she was crossing the airfield, two young airmen met her and said, bet you daren't put your stockings on the wings instead of those ribbons. She did and the gentleman now stood at our table said, "I didn't notice those stockings until I was over Berlin."

This was on the night of June 6th, 1944, not with the initial morning invasion. Hicks got the recording flown to London. There, at the Blue Network office, it was broadcast that night in the United States at 11:15 p.m. Eastern War Time on the Blue Network; not long after, the recording was played over the other networks, CBS, NBC and Mutual.

When I was about 8 I checked out a record from the library "Sounds of WWII" and it had this on it and I adored playing it. It also have Princess Elizabeth and Margaret Rose wishing the best of luck to the people of Britain. Also the D-Day landings and of course Chamberlain's sorrowful announcement that they were at war with Germany.... it was a fantastic record. They had one from WWI as well but it wasn't as exciting. Less on the spot recordings.

Bader was an incompetent, ill-disciplined insubordinate liability. He lost his legs due to reckless stunting against orders. He never understood Dowding's strategy for the BoB and with the other incompetent, Leigh-Mallory, introduced the tactic of the big wings. A counter-productive tactic at odds with Dowding's careful strategic planning. As a direct result RAF Hornchurch was put out of action for a week as he gave the Germans an unopposed bombing run. Dowding actually asked whose side he was on. Bader was detested by his fellow pilots. He was shot down and became a POW due to friendly fire. He went off his designated patrol over France and approached British aircraft from a direction from which they would only expect enemy aircraft. He got to stay in the armed forces as he was made a propaganda hero. See the book "Dowding and the Battle of Britain" authored by the only historian to whom Dowding entrusted his diaries.

@@bobsakamanos4469Read "Dowding and the Battle of Britain" authored by the only historian to whom Dowding allowed access to his diaries. I met someone who was a friend of Stanford-Tuck. Bader was not liked or respected among his comrades. Whilst a POW in Colditz, Bader refused to let his batman, who carried him up and downstairs on his back, be repatriated in 1943 in a prisoner exchange. He stated "You came here as my skivvy and you'll finish the war as my skivvy." A couple of years after the war Bader rang that man and demanded "Have you goty legs?" When informed in the negative Bader swore and hung up. He was an arrogant, disgraceful individual and you are an ignorant troll.

The BF 109 was not the most produced aircraft of WW2 . People in the West are not aware that the Nazis fought a superpower from 1941 to 1945 that completely outprodiced the Nazis while fighting the equivelant of 5 DDays on a 2500 mile front. To include the US production is a joke when they had no Nazis panzer divisions on their soil.
