Famous weapons in WW2

[Crossroads]

There was a documentary a long time ago about trying to restore a Liberator that had crashed landed on the ice in northern Alaska (I think). These guys went up there and found it, restored it to flying condition, new wiring, engine overhauls, the works. Then they go to take off, there's a fire and the whole thing burns up. Pretty sad.

Some of these old 'relics' have been preserved in surprisingly good condition :)

Here's something I have kept an eye every now and then for some time now: The Last Brewster

B239's earned a truly legendary status at this part of world in 1941-43. The pearl of the skies, the pilots called them. What I have read, they are claimed to hold several "world" records: for an example the most planes shot down by the same physical plane (41 enemy planes).

Original footage with Hurricanes, Brewsters and Blenheims flying under the Finnish light-blue swastikas (appear around 3:30). A sight some of you have perhaps not seen?
