This is a docu-drama movie of Aussie legend Nicky Barr of 3 squadron RAAF. One of the main reasons behind this was kind of experimental to try to use other game engines in the story telling process. I tried to be as accurate as possible from accounts of Barr's exploits most of which are actually unfilmable (and vary) and go far beyond what is depicted here, and the usual "artistic licence" thrown in.
A big thanks to Joe90 for taking a look at a pre-release and some tips, and for convincing me to actually release it at a point where I was about to scrap it.

On a tech note I had a few AA frapping probs here and there as this was mostly done on my old PC, however I'm on a new rig now so no worries.
On a historical note, there's a couple o' blips, at a point where a milestone event is mentioned for 3 squadron there's a Kittyhawk in the background that should have been a Tomahawk, they did'nt get the Kitty for another month. And keen eyes may spot a glipmse of a 109 in one shot with a PikAs emblem, although JG53 were in the theatre in Dec '41 they only stayed for 3 weeks and went back to Sicily, the event in the movie is 2 weeks later, but I left it in just to see if you're paying attention Smile
