" This is NOT an airfield ! "
Image based on a real event.

As told by Luftwaffe pilot Hellmut Detjens ...


"... Our squadron flight controller reported the approach of an enemy reconnaissance aircraft over the Ostsee (the Baltic Sea). Lt. Weber and I took off as a Rotte, and were directed to the location by Preusker. I was at full power, but Weber started to pull away from me, and when I asked him to power back, he just sped on and vanished into the distance.
In the hopes of catching a (USAF) Lightning or a (RAF) Mosquito unawares, I kept to my present course. Then suddenly one of my engines lost power and flamed out. The only thing I knew was that I was quite high and somewhere over the Ostesee. Below me, the clouds had closed up to form a solid, impenetrable, blanket. I turned the aircraft onto a reverse heading, then started to call my field over the radio, which was Brandenburg, using code

Story based on a real life story during World War II , while in action against the Luftwaffe over Paris...

" One day in Paris "

... in the Spring of 1944 , Bill Overstreet of the 357th Fighter Group stayed hot on the tail of a Luftwaffe Me-109.
The german pilot flew over Paris hoping the heavy German anti-aircraft artillery would solve his problem and eliminate Overstreet and his P-51-C, the "Berlin Express".
Hoping did no good.

... In the Spring of 1945, Lt. Merrill J. "Dewey" DuMont was on a Reconnaissance mission with
the 1st Scouting Force (85th FS/364th FG) somewhere in France, near the English Channel, when suddenly a
V-2 Missile was launched just as the two P-51 airplanes were flying near the launch site hidden in the woods below!! What a surprise!!

The real story of " The Miracle B-17 "

On February 1 1943 a group of B-17 bombers where once again on a mission over North Africa, their mission was to eliminate all the Afrika Korps forces in the region.
Suddenly a group of Luftwaffe fighters from the II/JG.2 (some witnesses say they were FW-190s, while others say they were Me-109s) suddenly attacked the bomber formation in a steep dive from head-on. One of the B-17 bombers, one of the ten in the formation that day, was extremely lucky to make it back to base .
The Luftwaffe fighter group dove directly into the B-17 formation with all guns blazing away. They came in so fast that it suddenly became obvious that the lead machine was not going to be able to pull out from the dive. Perhaps the Luftwaffe pilot had been hit , for he continued on a collision course until he crashed into Maj. Coulter

" A Memorable Dogfight at Guadacanal "

On August 7, 1942, the opening day of the Guadalcanal campaign, American forces began shelling Guadalcanal and neighboring Tulagi in the Solomon Islands. It was the beginning of a U.S. push to capture the Japanese-controlled islands in the Pacific. Success was critical because the Japanese were rushing to complete a landing strip that would be a major threat to Allied shipping lanes between Australia and America.

Soon after the attack began, 27 Japanese bombers and an escort of 17 Zero fighters took off from Rabaul
