Fuselage structure looks like an Focke-Wulf but I may be wrong.

It would have been absolutely incredible to have been able to look up and watch these air battle's (dogfights) take place in real time. If only I was able to, but if you believe in reincarnation maybe I did watch history take place.

[@lucastemps5698]

totally agree, how fascinating to watch, but also picture yourself as one of the pilots or a civilian on the ground. we've all had that experience of aqua-planning on some ice driving at winter and you have sweaty palms after, imagine their palms... constantly

@@lucastemps5698 Your so true, to put yourself in their shoes with so overwhelming odds against the Germans. Great comment !
