Rules
Be civil and respectful to each other.
Historical images that have been manipulated (colorized, upscaled, or otherwise edited) must be tagged and include a watermark on the image itself. This requirement can be satisfied by, for example, putting a small text annotation in one corner, or with your personal logo. For the rationale for this rule, see here
This rule is not meant to restrict images with period edits, such as censor marks or original hand tinting
Russian URLs banned by reddit:
Some domains, especially .ru domains, will trip Reddit's comment spam filter, even with the filter set to 'low'. This includes many Russian aviation sites like ava org ru, topwar ru, and aviadejavu ru. To the best of my knowledge I have no way to disable this, or even to manually approve these posts once they appear in the spam queue.
If you plan to reference these to these, you'll need to do so without linking them.

Why was the bf 110 so long? And also couldn't the back gunner just reload the cannon? Why do they need a separate guy?? Why wasn't it more like the IL2m shturmovik?
Whether the control surfaces of World War II fighters were directly connected to the control stick, whether they had steering assistant and what force was needed to make combat turns?
Due to the fact that a handful of Ju 87s and He 111s which weren't destroyed by German personnel to prevent capture by Allied troops fell into American and British, examples of the CASA 2.111 (the Spanish license-built version of the He 111) were used during the filming of the movies Battle of Britain and Patton to represent the He 111, as were a handful of Ju 87 dive bombers.
Are there any extant examples of the CASA 2.111 used to represent the He 111 during the filming of Battle of Britain and Patton? Also, were the Ju 87s used in the filming of Battle of Britain replicas or examples captured by British troops?
