German propaganda film, telling a story of bomber crews, taking part in invasion on Poland and attacks on the British shipping. One of the crew, forced to bail out will be save by a Heinkel 115.
Heinkel He 111 H
Seen throughout the whole movie.
During the air battle, the left Jumo 211F is hit, starts smoking and then stopped, the propellers feathered. More actions display all the stations.
Heinkel He 111 B
Avia B-534
Probably the only movie shot featuring this czech fighter. Acting under the polish colors to simulate a PZL (monoplane !) fighter.
Same action reused in other movies at IMPDb: Frequently Seen Aircraft.
PZL 37B Łoś
On the ground, the bombing has destroyed the base. Several aircrafts are burning. Through the smoke, the shape of some polish bomber PZL 37B are visible.
(probably) Another unique shot among the film industry story.
Junkers Ju 87 A-2 Stuka
Interesting view showing side by side the Junkers Ju 87 A (front) and the Junkers Ju 87 B (behind).
Same aircraft in other movies at IMPDb: Frequently Seen Aircraft.
Heinkel He 115 A
Send to rescue the downed crew.
Start of the BMW 132K engine.
Messerschmitt Bf 109 D
Curtiss H-75 Hawk
France and Norge have had this Curtiss P-36 variant in their Air Force inventory and some dozens fall in the german hands at the armistice. One of them is used to act as a british Curtiss Mohawk (despite it was only used for advanced training by the S.A.A.F. or fighter on the CBI theater but never on the European theater).
