Well, Max and RedSpade. You both expressed in your latest posts what I do have deep in my heart.
and yes, I collect Pulp-fiction and "B" aviation movies... Just yesterday I watched "Pilot X - Murder in the sky". Quite a good old film, I have to say, with an acceptable plot.

Cheers

In the batman comic, "Ghost of the Killer Skies" Batman flies a Spad XIII against a Dr.I. If you ever get a chance to read it, do so.

The SPAD XIII was one of the best Allied combat aircraft during the last two years of the WW1, and continued in service after the conflict, well into the 1920 decade, in many countries. It would be a very welcome plane for the Golden Age project.

Cheers

BTW, Verhangnis have the plane almost done, lacking slot and few other things. The 3d model is from Gabriel, a Brazilian modeller I know. The whole thing is now in the hands of Verhangnis, but I know he needs some help .

AAHAHAHAH! Cool man  8) I dig those old flicks.
I never saw Pilot-X, but I will take a look at it in YouTube or some other website where I usually see films for free.
Those old films are alot of good fun. Very simple but very entertaining. Many of todays films are missing that part in them,
the "entertainment and adventure" part. They just fill up the movie time doing car chases, explosions and alot of crazy
fighting or gun shooting.
Some of the old films had something great for people to think about and remember in the years to come. I can still remember
alot of those old films, but if you ask me what film I saw last night on the internet, I probably wll not remember because it
was just some crazy crap as usual.

A few years back I started doing some flights in the IL-2 but without listening to music, but listening to the radio.
The old radio shows they had back then.
There was no TV, so pilots had to tune into a radio station and listen to pass the time in their
flights. So I download ALOT of radio shows from the 1920s -1930s and 1940s era. They are still free to download and Alot of great
fun to listen to. You will feel like you are actually flying in the ww2 and living that moment.

Also,
 passenger airplanes did not have tvs or films to show. Well, some may have had a little reel-to-reel player and showed a
short film, but most had radios playing for the passengers to pass the time. So that is something diferent for you to try in your flights.
You really have to listen to how far these guys went to create sound effects to the stories they were telling on the radio and their
programs back in the 1930s. It is pretty amazing cool stuff.
 I am sure everyone already knows what happened when a good radio show is well made, such as "War of the worlds" with
Orson Welles back in 1938. Many people got killed listening to that radio show.

I'll start to annoy A1_Phoenix with a list of planes we do already have in IL-2 for him to make new skins for the Golden Age project... One of them will for sure do as a biplane Helldiver from the King Kong movies...

Andreaaaa!!! Where are you, my brotherly friend? ;) I have something interesting for youuuu ( MWHAHAHA) ....

well.. to be honest if the mighty gorilla was defeated by beauty (of Ms.Darrow), only the mercury version -compared to kestrel ones- is LESS beautiful than a woman

and -by mere chance- seems the most passable stand-in for a generic US Navy two-seater

"I know my chickens" ;)
