  • lol isnt that the truth

    great comments guys

    S!

  • @wwiiolsnipet This was a history channel production and featured here in the US on cable tv. They said you had only 15 minutes of ammo in the plane so you had to shoot really short split second bursts. Too bad you did'nt have a nose cannon. What caliber where your machine gun?

  • @norb1937 the spitfires used .303 machine guns and 20mm cannons

  • @wwiiolsnipet not the early ones.

  • @extere huh? if your talking about Spitfires having .303s and 20mms then yes you are correct the early, Mk 1s, ones only used 8 .303s vs later in the war where they used 4 .303s and 2 20mms

  • Sadly, Pete Brothers died on 18 December 2008. To him and his comrades, we owe everything we have. They will never be forgotten.

  • Thank you for this series. It is with the deepest gratitude I will remember these pilots. If it hadn't been for their heroic effort I would probably not be alive today, as my father would very likely not have survived the war in the occupied Netherlands.

  • this brought a smile to my face RIP PETE AND ALL THOSE WHO THOUGHT FOR OUR COUNTRY

  • Such beautifull planes, and so great to see an old ww11 pilot back in the cockpit flying over the land he once defended. I found that touching.

  • R.I.P Ace. I show my respects!

  • Beautiful

  • It must be thrilling to pilot spitfire once more since the war. I bet it brought back memories from the youth.

    The ace of skies once more.

    Gives me goosebumps to even slightly imagine what that old pilot is feeling.

  • 15 minutes!!!!!!!!...no, i minute!

  • Shivers down my spine!!!!!

  • @skipsassy1 A glorious and worthy victory over their morale though. I salute you Harris.

  • How about the "battle" of Dresden - timed bombs to blow up woman and children coming out of the bomb shelters. Great courage those British bombers.
