Under the radar is a first movie made by Maxwell Schneider of 5./JG27. It was a short movie made on the Atag server in very little time. I would call this a test for future videos. Please enjoy.

We had our Schwarm out and in action all this weekend. Had a blast running low level raids on Manston and Hawkinge then running escort to our bombers as heavy fighters. The campaign is in full swing and 9./ZG26 is again flush with active members. We want to welcome our newest member Flieger Fritz von Hipper who has already been awarded his pilots wings and participated in both campaign missions this weekend. Come by and check us out. It's a crazy life in the world of the wunderpig.

Very nice pics Eicken.

 

These guys really do know how to fly their 110s, they're giving us hard time in the campaign. S!

Thank you Robo, and very kind words. I believe you have shot me down more times than anybody else in the campaign so far. Good shooting and good flying. S!

In photograph is the stricken convoy that would again be hit by a second and then a third wave of BF 110's of 9./ZG26.

This is a video of 9./ZG26 flying together in the very first mission of the ongoing Airwar campaign.
In this video you will see: An attack on RAF Wilmington by members of 9./ZG26 flying the Bf 110 and JG4 flying the JU88.
The attack was a success despite the heavy casualties both squadrons would suffer that day.
Enjoy!
