JV 44, Galland's last mission, HD

Visualize flying Messerschmidt 262 jets with Adolf Galland and pilots of JV 44 on Galland's last mission of World War II. Sharpened version.

Disclaimers:
- The half-track truck was as close as I could get to a half-track motorcycle (Kettenkrad).
- I was reading Galland's words when he mis-identified the P-47 as a Mustang.
- I created the aircraft skins using IL-2 templates.
- I recreated the Munich-Riem airport using the IL-2 Surface Editor.

Man that's a lot of bombers 😂 If my computer knew beforehand I was going to attempt playing with that many planes, it would refuse to turn on haha Great video though as usual, I enjoy listening to Gallands stories in interviews.
On a side note, do you think You Tube is downplaying your videos ? A lot of You Tubers are of this opinion regarding such content. I'm stunned that you've only had 117 views so far. Don't lose heart, we enjoy what you do 👍🏼
