Hello Harriso987,

many thanks for this link. This movie was orginal made by the former German fighter pilot Erwin Leykauf. I meet him and we looked this movie in his own Cinema in his house. Some of the airfights in the scenes are copies as he said and as he had written in front of his movie. The normal flight scenes are made by himself with his own smal camera. It was forbitten but he flow with one hand and filmed with the other. He was a great German flyer and a great man.

Kind regards
Ruediger

These are great films. I have already spent hours going through some of them. There are scenes I have never seen before, including the special on JG-53 and JG-54.

Great stuff!

Almost at the end there is gun camera footage of shooting at an a/c (Fw190A ??) that appears to have black crosses on the wing.

Friendly fire incident?

Harrison,

Thanks for this out of the common film link.

Ruediger, many many thanks for your background information. This film has indeed unique ground and inflight footage.

Cheers
Marc
