Note: This film utilises a significant quantity of Computer Generated Images (CGI). Aircraft portrayed in this film may not be entirely accurate and have been identified as closely as possible to real aircraft.
Tupolev Tu-2S[]
The Tupolev Tu-2S went into combat at the end of 1944.
The cockpit is not fully accurate.
Messerschmitt Me 309[]
What could be first taken for a Messerschmitt Bf 109 F or G...
...is eventually the Messerschmitt Me 309 which flew only as prototype at the end of 1943 (four airframes built).
Mittlewerk EWM A4 Vergeltungswaffe V2[]
Archive footage used for this headquarters action.
Such picture taken by Germans were not in Allied hands before the end of the war.
Commando action shot with a green (or blue) background. A CGI rocket was later added but it’s unrealistic especially for the fins and the nozzle.
Junkers Ju 87 B Stuka[]
Such yellow nose is a little bit anachronistic for the second half of the Great Patriotic War!
Lisunov Li-2[]
CGI.
Although subtly filmed, we can see this Lisunov Li-2 is unable to roll; it’s probably one of the survivors in a park or museum (Kiev ?).
