Rare KG27 He111 colour air-to-air film
Short but very rare colour home footage shot in the Summer 1940 of KG27 He111s whilst based at St Malo/Dinard. Believed to be the only known air-to-air colour film of this aircraft type.
The video can be expanded to full screen at bottom right of video thumbnail. Hope it is of interest. I have a few more rare clips I'll post soon including the II/KG30 colour home movie which many found of interest a while ago. The clip begins at 10:06:16 http://www.archiv-akh.de/filme?utf-8=✓&q=boelcke#6 |

Rare KG27 He111 colour air-to-air film
That is an interesting film throughout. I find any Luftwaffe Kampfflieger footage such as this from that period to be fascinating, it really was a different world and to see this snapshot of that time is quite something.
The colour KG 27 footage is remarkable really, and it never ceases to amaze me that items such as this still turn up. Thank you for putting this up and I look forward to seeing the KG 30 footage too. Regards Richard. |

I agree, including the scenes of Paris (e.g. Boulevard de l'Opéra and Place de la Concorde)
