No. 74 Squadron over Dunkirk

Another interesting film from Wingleader, analysing gun camera film taken by 74's Spitfires over the Dunkirk area in late May 1940: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69DcplCb148

Those 'Wingleader' series of vids are very entertaining and informative. Even though they're short, they're much better than the 'canned' doccos I'm used to seeing.


Maybe one day they'll get to the 'big' days by aces like Lang and HJM. The Shores books discuss it, sure, but for some folks like me it's easier to comprehend if it's visually and verbally discussed.

PS: and just so it's known, I am in NO WAY throwing shade towards those and other pilots.
