My pilot character from a WW2-esque story, Sebastian Focke, being reminded of the brittleness of mortality.
Love it, and live it. I make WW2 planes in Second Life for Cash! woohoo. In any case, have you seen the "hollywood" actors in the trainign film about flying the B-26? it's half cool, yet half painful. (i.e. bad banter saved by good acting).
I may post the Stuka I'm working on later
Oh man, wat--Stuka's were my favorite. They became pretty useless, but during the start of the war they were something else. Above all, I love the idea behind the "horns of jericho", and their psychological impact on the poor bastards on the ground below. That alone makes them super fascinating to me, I could rave all day about them haha! And I can't say I saw that training film for the B-26! lmaaoo it sounds amazing though, is there a link to it anywhere?
Ask and ye shall receive. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSIsoj1QPAc (There are also a ton of training films from other planes if you go link hopping. (Make some popcorn and throw the rest of the day's productivity away).
Well I will probably post some finished images of the stuka when it's done. The important things are that it look good, is pleasant (up to a point) to fly and can bomb accurately had yes, have the <i>Jericho Trompte</i> and the proper instrumentation.
