My favorites are the P-38 and the ME 109.
Great BBC 60s era documentary series "The Great War". It is a 28 part series on youtube. It is a little grainy and in black and white, but the amount of info is awesome. Episode lengths are from 38 to 45 mins long. Best thing about it is the interviews with the Vets, and the period radio and film footage. None of the WW1 vets sre left to tell their tale now. That war for soldiers was heartbreaking. Loved the show, I have a better understanding of the suffering and brutality since watching it.

Thanks for the link! I had never seen the footage in that first video!Anyone who is interested in the ACW knows about the Rebel Yell. Well here is what it might have sounded like. I came across the link just now and found it very interesting.

What's folks favorite era? Through my mother's ancestry digging, and being within 3-4 hours of most sites, I've become a whore for the various battles of the New England Ranger outfits in the French and Indian War. The Civil war is probably my most versed subject, simply because of the huge amount of quality writing on it.

Any era that my ancestors were involved in. My gggrandfather fought in the 24th Tennessee infantry. He was captured at the Battle of Nashville.

Anyone into reenactments or been to one? Going to see Gettysburg is one my bucket list.
I've got a friend who I met through the Blackhorse Association who was my uncle's LT when he was killed. Guy has some good stories from LRRP stuff in Vietnam, but even more interesting was his time leading a 75% black raider platoon in the Rhodesian Bush War. That's a fascinating conflict to me, between the RLI, Sealous Scouts, and so on.
