Look what I have just found!!
II part
Have you ever heard about the "Porco Rosso"? Itīs a famous anime very popular in Europe during the 90s. It seems the cartoonist is a great fan of planes and history. This is a small comic about the SCW and my fovourite bomber.
Enjoy!!
Hmm...
3-bladed props on those Condor Legion Bf109s...

"If you can read this, thank a teacher. If it's English, thank a soldier!"
remember this??
Falcon Squadron
What is the problem with that? Condor Legion did operate Bf 109E, so the comic is historically accurate...

Cool comics. Thanks for posting.
In the realm of dog fighting, if it's a fair fight... you did something wrong.
Good stuff!

Porco Rosso (Crimson Pig)
Hayao Miyazaki, the author, is the finest animation director, writer, author, artist, story teller the world has ever seen (sorry Walt Disney and Osamu Tezuka). His "cartoons" are better then all but the best live action movies!!!1!
[b]Of interest to all of here is his penchant (ability) to express in his art the feeling of flight! After watching his films, it was like I took a joy ride in an airplane.
I like to say
"If man was meant to fly he would have wings, but he does, just someone forgot to attach them"
His ability to so easily express this comes from his childhood (from Wiki):
and this is tidbits of his skill:Miyazaki, the second of four brothers, was born in the town of Akebono-cho, part of Tokyo's Bunkyō-ku. During World War II, Miyazaki's father Katsuji was director of Miyazaki Airplane, owned by his brother (Hayao Miyazaki's uncle), which made rudders for A6M Zero fighter planes. During this time, Miyazaki drew airplanes and developed a lifelong fascination with aviation, a penchant that later manifested as a recurring theme in his films.
