Spielberg/Hanks 'Masters of the Air' sequel is 'Band of Brothers' With Planes

[Kman34]

The FW 190… In the hands of an expert flyer this plane was hard to beat..

A lot of people don’t know that in the later stages of the bombing campaign of Germany, the Germans would put bombs on the 190s and ME 109s and drop them into the B-17 bomber formations with good results.. Then they would engage the bombers with their guns and cannons.
The shear numbers of bomber escorts ( P47s, P51s) was just too much to overcome..
Hitler always thought the production of bombers should be more important than making enough fighters..
