Downloaded. I just finished watching the first 'chapter' (to 'and so ended the first sortie'), and I'm very impressed so far.

Edit: Finished the whole thing. I have to say it's one impressive and moving film, which succeeded in conveying emotions. The scenes actually got to me even though you practically never really saw the characters, only their vehicles. I recommend this film to all of you, even though it's a ,6 GB download.

As a side note, did this kind of thing - outdated planes taking on superior enemies - happen often in the war? I know that in 1940, the Norwegians launched four biplanes against a far larger flight of German paratrooper planes, and I can imagine that such engagements were fairly common elsewhere, too. That's quite some courage.
