@GilB57 Either it is ironic or Pierre Clostermann is oblivious to human suffering.
"Feux du Ciel" is literally "Fires of the Sky" so I doubt an English translation (if there is one) would bear exactly that name.
Clostermann seems to be a German name and Galland definitely looks like French. Also Beurling does net seem typically English so perhaps it is from Normandy. They could all be distant relatives.
Thanks for the info!

@stormus65 That would have been a feature of what the film maker chose to put on the carrier via the game. You might also not the low number of flight sims of any kind. The makers of IL2 and Microsoft Flight Sim have quit because of "rivet counters". Thanks for you input and its effect.

@stormus65 they are using wrong skin on 4x20mm spitys cheers there is no spity with 4 canons and machineguns

I just want to commend the makers and sim-fliers of this effort. I've done both CFS and IL2 and it's an amazing amount of time and editing to put together something like this. Kudo's to you all. ~S~

Who created this game? They need to have a quick check on thier accuracy, as the Mark Vb Spitfires that were ferried from the carrier USS Wasp were only armed with 4x.303 Browning machine guns and 2x20mm Hispano cannon not 4x20mm and 4x.303. Also a lot of the aircraft were flown out without the squadron lettering codes on the sides of the aircraft. Truth is though, the Battle for Malta made the Battle of Britain seem easy...

I am inclined to say that there can be no fighter pilots paradise, but in a way it may after all be true. An environment where the bullets and flack are not real may be a kind of paradise. If you get killed you can have a cup of tea and figure out how it happened, then get back in the plane and try again.
No burning to a cinder or being crushed in a crash, no wounds, no drowning or freezing to death in the ocean and no pain. Just a glorious hero without fear or remorse and a symphony orchestra.

@StimuLAZ :
Sorry to be late for this answer : in fact, this title refers to a book written by WW2 free french fighter pilot Pierre Clostermann. The book was called "Feux du ciel" (french title) and there was a chapter about the arrival at Malta of famous english ace G.Beurling. The chapter was called "A fighter pilot's paradize". I suppose there was something ironical, in this name ...
