The sight of Spitfires escorting Lancasters - and in daylight - might seem highly unusual but operations like this were part of the massive Allied air effort against German forces after D-Day in 1944.
From Leo McInstrey's book 'Lancaster': " ... as the number of daylight raids increased, the Lancasters received fighter cover from the RAF for the first time in the war. 'The Spitfires were a very welcome sight and would accompany you to the target,' said Bob Knights of 617 Squadron."

One of my absolute favourite movies of all time. (Of course it's title doesn't hurt either). The best line in VR&B is — "I just wish to hell they'd paint these damn planes a nice drab brown... the English can see us a mile away."

The Italian Test pilot was sitting next to me in the hangar looking at ( my laptop) the pictures of the aerial photoshoot we did, just hours earlier, he liked this picture a lot and that is why i am posting it here.We were chatting about all kind of aviation stuff. He was in his late thirties(i estimate),a energetic person, someone you like, seconds after you have met him.Capt. Gabriele Orlandi and This Typhoon number MM7278/RS-23 are now world famous as millions have seen (the video of) him fly/CRASH into the Mediterranean sea 4 day's after i met him.I could not believe it, i was shocked to get the confirmation!
He was a really nice person and awesome fighterpilot!
The third female pilot in this sequence was X-Wing Pilot Wona Goban (Gold Nine) played by Gabby Wong.

Fighter Ace Lieutenant Frank Luke Jr. from Phoenix, Arizona of the 27th Aero Squadron of the United States Army Air Service stands in front of his SPAD S.XIII fighter plane in a field near Rattentaut, France on 19 September, 1918. Lt. Luke was the first airman in American military history to receive the Medal of Honor and he is second in aerial victories by Americans in World War 1 with 18 behind only the great Eddie Rickenbacker. Luke was the most productive fighter ace for any side in the entire war, because he achieved 18 aerial victories on just 10 missions over a period of eight days. His career as a pilot only lasted a 17 days when on September 29, 1918 Luke was mortally wounded by a bullet fired from a machine gun on a hillside as he attacked a group of three German observation balloons near Dun-sur-Meuse. He was forced to crash land in a field where he fled to a nearby forest and continued to discharge his Colt Model 1911 pistol until he collapsed and died by a stream. This photograph was taken just 10 days before his death.

The 20th Fighter Wing flagship F-16CM Fighting Falcon is parked on echo taxiway off the Shaw Air Force Base flightline, June 4, 2015, S.C. The tail of the fighter jet was recently painted to commemorate 50 years of the iconic Wild Weasel mission. The Wild Weasel concept was developed by the United States Air Force in 1965, after the introduction of Soviet Surface to Air Missiles and their downing of U.S. strike aircraft over the skies of North Vietnam. During the Vietnam War the Soviet SA-2 SAM threatened to halt air operations over North Vietnam. To suppress and destroy this threat, the U.S. Air Force countered with the courage and skill of the Wild Weasels, who flew some of the most dangerous missions in Southeast Asia. Fighter pilots are still using the aggressive Wild Weasel tactics in today’s air war, carrying out the legacy of the Wild Weasel in campaigns around the world. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt.

Chran with her painful history at the end of WW2.to remember.
Tokko's they were mentioned, these kamikaze pilots. Who were very common at the end of the Pacific war.
These young pilots who died by suiciding themselves by diving with the fighter plane very close to, or above their naval target. Very often around the isles of Okinawa
More then 1000 young man committed suicide in that way to honor their family and country. Most of these man were just boys in the age of 18 till 25 years old.

The first Emirati military pilot Fatima Mansouri

فاطمة المنصوري: الإنجازات الكبيرة تبدأ بالحلم
أول طيارة عسكرية إماراتية تحلم بوضع علم الدولة على القمر
لم تخطط فاطمة المنصوري في صغرها لأن تكون طيارة· كانت تريد أن تدرس العلاقات الدولية والالتحاق بالسلك الدبلوماسي· لكن ''إعصاراً داخلياً أو إلهاماً'' قادها إلى تحويل مسارها، وانتهى إلى جعلها واحدة من أول أربع فتيات إماراتيات ينضممن إلى القوات المسلحة طيارات حربيات·
بدأ التحول في العام ،2003 حين التحقت المنصوري (25 عاماً) بمدرسة الإمارات للطيران المدني، التي شجعها أهلها وصديقاتها على الانضمام إليها، لتدخل حقلاً لم يجذب كثيراً من الفتيات من قبل· وفي العام ،2006 لاحت فرصة جديدة للمنصوري حين فتحت كلية خليفة بن زايد الجوية في العين باب الالتحاق بالطيران الحربي أمام الفتيات·
اغتنمت المنصوري الفرصة· وبعد عامين من التحاقها بالكلية، وقفت في 17 يناير الجاري مع زميلاتها الثلاث في طابور الخريجين ملازم طيار في حفل تخريج كلية خليفة بن زايد الجوية، الذي شهده صاحب السمو الشيخ محمد بن راشد آل مكتوم نائب رئيس الدولة رئيس مجلس الوزراء حاكم دبي·
ودشنت المنصوري وزميلاتها الثلاث بذلك مرحلة جديدة لبنات الإمارات في مجال الخدمة العسكرية، التي التحقت بها المرأة لأول مرة في العام ،1990 حين افتتحت مدرسة خولة بنت الأزور·
''علمني الطيران الجرأة واتخاذ القرارات الصعبة''، تقول المنصوري· وفي كلية خليفة الجوية ''بدأت تجربة جديدة تتميز بالانضباط والدقة والصرامة''·
وتلك كانت تجربة ''ثرية وناجحة'' بالنسبة للمنصوري·
لم تخل التجربة من الصعوبات· لكن المنصوري تؤكد أن التصميم والصبر وتشجيع قادتها وزملائها في الكلية ساعدتها على تجاوزها·
''كانوا فخورين بي وبزميلاتي الثلاث خصوصاً بعد المراحل الصعبة التي واجهناها بشجاعة خلال التدرب على الإقلاع والهبوط بالطائرات العسكرية''، تقول المنصوري عن قادتها وزملائها·
وحين كانت تواجه المزيد من الصعاب، تقول المنصـــوري إنها كــانت تتذكر مثلها الأعلى الفـريــق أول ســـمو الشـــيخ محمــد بــن زايـــد آل نهيان ولي عهد أبوظبي نائب القائد الأعلى للقوات المسلحة ''وخطواته الثابتة في الحياة العسكرية، وجهوده الكبيرة خصوصاً في مجال الطيران''·
وعندما حلقت في الجو تنفذ عروضاً جوية وحركات بهلوانية لأول مرة، كانت ''سعادتي لا توصف''، تقول المنصوري في حديث مع (الاتحاد) شجعت فيه مواطناتها على الانضمام للقوات المسلحة·
''لا توصف'' أيضاً كانت سعادة أسرة المنصوري بإنجاز ابنتها·
فلما رفعت الستارة عن صف الخريجين، الذي وقفت فيه المنصوري، تقول والدتها، ''شعرت بأن والد فاطمة المتوفى عاد إلى الحياة من جديد، وأنه هو من يستقبل هذا النجاح وهذا التكريم'' من قبل صاحب السمو الشيخ محمد بن راشد آل مكتوم نائب رئيس الدولة رئيس مجلس الوزراء حاكم دبي·
تفتخر المنصوري بأنها حققت جزءاً من حلمها بتخرجها في كلية الطيران الحربي· وهي الآن تأمل بإكمال الحلم بأن تكون أول رائدة فضاء عربية·
''يراودني حلم كبير، وهو وضع علم بلادي على سطح القمر''، تقول المنصوري· وهي تتطلع إلى تحقيق حلمها لأنها تؤمن بأن ''الإنجازات الكبيرة تبدأ بالحلم·'' وتؤكد: ''على الإنسان أن يتحلى بالإرادة والصبر والأمل لكي يحقق طموحاته''·

That was the experience of '' rich and successful '' for Mansouri ·
did not disturb the experience of difficulties · But Mansouri confirm that the design and patience and encourage its leaders and her colleagues at the college helped them overcome ·
"They were proud of me and my three colleagues, especially after the difficult stages we faced courageously during the training to take off and landing by military aircraft," says Mansouri about her leaders and colleagues. And
when she was facing more difficulties, Mansouri says she was remembered like the Supreme Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces "and his constant steps in military life, and his great efforts especially in the field of aviation."
When she flew into the air performing aerial shows and movements for the first time, Mansouri in Hadi With (Union) encouraged the female citizens to join the armed forces ·

16. Przy tym zdjęciu zatrzymam się nieco dłużej. Fotka przedstawia kpt. Manję Blok, pierwszą Full Combat Ready pilotkę RNAF, w trakcie ćwiczenia wsławiła się tym, że poleciała raz a później grzała ławę. Natomiast jej życiorys lotniczy jako pilota F16 zdobi chwała jednej z nielicznych, jeśli nie jedynej akcji w Byłej Jugosławii, gdzie miała okazję zbombardować czołg bodajże 11 lipca 1995, co bardziej złośliwi twierdzą, że a jakże zbombardowała ale ogrodzenie prywatnej posesji na szczęście obyło się bez CD.
