    These are artists rendering not real photos. Who do u suppose was able to take this photo?

    [​IMG]

    p51 lead fighter? ground observer? no. Just someone very talented in photoshop. I dont think hes actually putting them forward as actual photos. The tracers in the second photo look wrong as well because they dont have any lead, curve or trail and are too blobby.

    Good to know. :)

    1dt pic looked very real... i was wondering about odd color though.

    Background bombers look very real also. But I agree.. it cant be real. Situation would be really odd for taking pictures anyway.

    ive done animation with spitfire over sea, smoking and exploding;
    animation was pretty poor (made it about 2-3yrs ago) but after applying colour as on the pics above and grain photoshop plugin (used in adobe premiere) looked just like the archive film; mb ill convert it to smaller size and post a link to show u :) if i will find it somewhere
