I Never suggested that The RAF Bombed japan
only that Le Mays tactics were pure Bomber Command ....after all Le Mays and Arthur Harris knew each other well and must have discussed stategey many times
|
The shinden and japanese versions of me 262 &163 would not have made a scrap of difference
to the war ......Le Mays had switched to a night offensive carpet bombing industrial and
residential centres with incendiarys very similar to the British night bomber offensive on Germany that was what really smashed Japan up.... The japanese had no equivelant to the "Kammhuber line" no masses of 88mm flak guns no radar equipped fighters of any kind.... you cant shoot down what you cant see
|
Japan at that time had rader equipped fighter
Gekko. And British bombing unit never fly to
Japan. Only Le Mays US bombing unit could fly
to Japan. British never had bomber like B-29.

For those who don't want one-sided tales like "Dogfights", there were the great books like "The Aces Talk" and "The Greatest Aces" by Edward H. Sims. There is also more modern books like "Luftwffe Fighter Aces" Mike Spick, & the great JG series like "JG26 Top Guns of the Luftwaffe" & I recently enjoy "Luftwaffe Aces: German Combat Pilots of WWII" Kurowski. Hope that helps.
There's an Anglo-US production called 'Warplanes' & "Air Warriors' that are true historical documentaries not shown sadly.
|
Watching these videos I was curious about pilots from other air forces, especially those of the Luftwaffe; I'd love to know what stories one of their 100+ kill aces had, or what they thought about diving after American bombers with all the gunners blazing back. It won't be much longer that we can get stories from these people, so I think we should get as much as we can.

Here in the USA they haven't shown these programs in months either. They only show stuff like 'Ice Road Truckers' and other nonsense. I did all the CG modeling and animation for the 4 Secret Aircraft shows, which were produced by History Channel by a company in Scotland. THC is turning it's back on WWII subjects, because some woman who hates aircraft is in charge of programing. Working on these shows was lots of fun, I really miss those days. THC sells the DVD's online I think.

Thats because an american audience apparently can't identify with anything even remotely non-american.

that cuts out at the worst time its like Woah a jet bomber and then it cuts off lol Grrr

Yippeeeee!!!
