Galland's 1940 Emil!

Long time I had a craft for my WW2 collection. That one is the Me 109 Emil of German ace Adolf Galland, during the Battle of France May-June 1940

 

 

 

-- that view with:

.boxed FSX Gold Edition with the Acceleration Pack

.Galland's Emil as published lately on that site

.weather with the FSXWX freeware

.the freeware shader adjuster rdart78 and textures set --

A fine action shot of your ME-109 Gerard. That looks like a very tight turn! :cool: :cool: :)

Likely hunting for some French MS 406 :):)

Thanks Larry for the interest!

Nice shot against the clouds!

Yep! Likely there were some light clouds in northern France by late May 1940. That's the weather my freeware weather engine rendered when set at that date :)

Beautiful 109 Gerard, and a fantastic pic of it :cool::cool::cool:

Thanks Peer! That a 109 published here recently

Looks like a quiet period of your -- online -- life now. No hazardous landing, no trafficking of any sort. Who knows what that's preparing!! :):):)

Better then meeting a D520! [emoji6]

Sure! The Dewoitine 520 could take a Me 109 -- it was the kind of French Spitfire -- but it came too late and in too few numbers and units, to be of a real effect :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

It is a beautiful plane!

Salut Gérard,

 

I like the picture, WW2 pilots would say "I stood (my aircraft) on one wing." I read his book "The First and the Last" - there is a French edition "Les premiers et les derniers : Les pilotes de chasse de la deuxième guerre mondiale - de Adolf Galland" a very interesting and enjoyable read.

 

Best wishes.

 

Khalid

Thanks!

 

Yep! Galland is a German pilot usually prized by aviation amateurs of the epoch

Galland is half French by the way, or his family originated from France. Fun fact for you.

Yep! From what I read, the Galland issued from southeastern French protestants, who fled France at the moment of the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685, by King of France Louis XIV. A lot of French 'Huguenots' followed the same path, which translated into much German Protestants to have French origins
