The Komet!
Reminds me of one of my favorite games I played as a kid... Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe.... I remember staring at the box for days before my pops would let me install it on the old Tandy 1000.

ⓣⓡⓘⓒⓚⓨ48 : SWOTL! Do you remeber Chuck Yeager's Air Combat Simulator? That was a fun one. Yes... definitely!
Others I remember:
Battlehawk 1942 (also Lucasfilm but pre-SWOTL)
F15 Strike Eagle...
F19 Stealth Fighter (released before the official nomenclature of F117 was widely known; the game still had the false rounded shape that was "leaked to the world" to act as counter-intel to the angular one that actually was manufactured that could actually reflect the radar away.) This one was an exercise in patience... you were basically trying to NOT get into a fight the whole time lol. 8 year old me didn't care... lol... it was a challenge and I played every damned mission on real time (no acceleration).
Jetfighter 2 (I had a x386 with an honest to goodness video card to play this one on!)
May have played a few others in that time frame, but those and, of course, Microsoft FS are what basically started my fascination with simulations of all kinds... with MW 1, 2, 3, and 4 being the culmination of that obsession.
Good times.
If I ever get another gaming PC there are several modern flight sims I would straight lose myself in.

MMMM... Bearcat...
Makes me miss WarWings even more! Sure, just a mobile game, but it gave me that warbird fix!

There's a local group that get together at a small airport not far from my house that run TBF Avengers. They will do formation flying and since the flight path is literally directly over my hood, I can hear that sweet beastly roar whenever they get going. Man I love that 「dookie」... would absolutely LOVE to do one of those ride-alongs with pretty much any aircraft from that time frame... *scratches note onto bucket list*

I'm a sucker for all things Me-163 Nothing like a plane whose fuel will melt its pilot. On a lighter note, this was a magic carpet ride...I've never been on another flight that skimmed the cloud tops like this for a largish portion of flight time.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane Oliver Kloesov! Man, I remember as a kid, I would read up all I could about WWII aircraft. My ATF of course will forever be the Spitfire. Watching that video though, I was amazed that the Komet was basically a flying bomb...imagine what would have happened if Germany had collaborated with the Japanese and the Japanese used the Komet for their Kamikaze attacks??

There is small airplane museum near me restoring a FW190 aka Butcherbird. That plane is nasty piece of bidness and was one of the fastest planes in the sky during WW2. TY for the videos!!

First, OP: Nice! Always preferred the Me 262, but that rocket is cool. Next: My all time favorite, WW2 monster: Count um, 8ea. 50 cal. Machine guns, truly the Fenrir of the skies! In case someone doesn’t know what this is, it is the P-47 Thunderbolt.
