I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing

Like those ones, don't know why they perform so unnoticed in the European theater, but those were a pain in the a** of the Japs in Far East.
Voilà le soleil d'Austerlitz!
nice one Paul
Thanks for posting the links Paul!
I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!
Too much other stuff catching the headlines. Heavy bombers are tops, then Fighters.Originally Posted by Marechallannes
The guys crippling the German shipping lanes didn't get alot of press.

I played a game some while back with Beaufighters versus Me110,s. The Beaufighters won hands down.
Amazing footage of them at work, doing what they do best.

I can't say "underestimate" since my visit of Hendon Museum where Hispano-Suiza HS.404 cannon is displeyed. There are seveeral flying "things" you don't want to see from the front side: Bristol Beaufighter, Republic A-10, Mil Mi-24, ...
Nice to see the Beaufighter get some recognition.
They did great work flying out of airstrips south of Darwin taking it to Jap shipping & ground attack in & around New Guinea & the Pacific Islands.
I have a DVD made from camera guns & war footage featuring both Squadrons & interviews with pilots & crews after WW2.

The Beaufighter " le joli combattant" above Champs Elysée in Paris : An amazing story Paul !
