I enjoyed every minute of that clip, Doc. I was a big fan of Jeff Ethell's articles in Flight Journal. It was a little poignant seeing him in that P-38. R.I.P.

Imagine if DCS decided to do a P-38?

Imagine if this series gets to the Med Theater with the -38 vs. 109's, Macchi's and Fiat's? With P-39's, Spit's, tank busting Hurris down low, P-40's. Shoot, I think my head would explode!

I saw this video years ago, have not watched recently.

Furious, could he be speaking in the context that you could "track a zero" as in they now had the speed & climb rate to stand off, watch the bugger, and then attack when having the advantage (you know, good BnZ tactics)?
