Ah, still 2nd place!
But Rock_Kettler is getting close now...I need to participate some more to stay number two.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Time for a clue. This picture will help to figure out at least the country.

Were they Escuadrón 201 - nicknamed "Aguilas Aztecas", or "Aztec Eagles", a Mexican squadron, a part of 58th FG USAAF?

Interestingly, squadron still exists today, and still flies prop driven planes - counterinsurgency and counter-drug traficker Pilatus PC-7s.

Okay, back to work now pretending being busy and indispensable.
Your turn now TinyTim...

Thanks Uufflakke.

Who is this and what is he holding in his hands?

Group Captain H N G Ramsbottom-Isherwood and The Order of Lenin

Correct Dance!

Interestingly, shipping military equipement from western allies to Soviet Union is widly known, while the western pilots that fought the Germans alongside Soviet allies not nearly as much.

GC Ramsbottom-Isherwood was one such pilot who flew Hurricanes against Germans in the Murmansk area in winter 1941 and was awarded with Order of Lenin for his actions, one of only 4 non-Soviets to receive this high decoration.

Btw, I'm having quite some problems accessing the forums, anyone else?

Thanks Tim, yes had troubles with the forum too. Now I won't even be able to post a quickie question as I won't be able to stay around and monitor for answers.

As I won't be back for several hours, I better throw the floor open for anyone to ask the next question.

Okay Dance, I take over now with another question.

Name the ace.

James Francis Edwards, a Canadian ace with 19 kills, 18 of which were fighters. One among them was famous Luftwaffe experten Otto Schulz with 51 wictories, who fell victim to Edwards in his Kittyhawk on June 17th, 1942.

Some more info about James F. "Eddie"/"Stocky" Edwards:

What do we have here?

Heinkel He 115.

Not a He-115 JtD, but (obviously) very similar in appearance and design. A bit smaller though.

Fiat RS. 14
(I think it has been asked before but not sure)

Yes Uufflakke, Fiat it is.

Thanx TinyTim but uuuhr... I just noticed that I was the one who asked the ID of the same plane some months ago.

http://forums.ubi.com/eve/foru...83/m/4761094337/p/39

So don't know if this counts for a quiz point or not.
Anyway, give me some time to come up with another question.

ID of the plane?
