    Default The Hunters

    I thought I'd post these two together. Me109 and a Spitfire.

    The spitfire looks like it has cloth wings. Wonderfully imagined, Graham. I feel an adrenaline rush.

    Evocative scenes from the Battle of Britain! Great work again!

    Technical question (by layman): Why the yellow highlights on the Messerschmitt? Doesn't that make it a clearer target?

    the Luftwaffe used the yellow markings originally in order to identify their planes and avoid them being shot down by friendly fire - on that basis I don't think they would have been that way in the battle of britain, but I am no expert.. it was more likely used in ground strafing when low flying could make identification [quickly] more of an issue

    Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.
