Re: Battle of Britain - Air Superiority: Nerd Herd Group Build

I am no expert!  but the black and white stripes where called "invasion stripes"  they were a D Day thing if I recall right.  "feathering" the prop means that the prop is adjusted to that it windmills or is unhooked from power.  It is a way to reduce resistance when your fighter, became a very bad glider.  Downing a plane,  I would imagine that terminal hits to the engine, pilot or control surfaces.  It is a interesting idea Scott,  maybe a scene with a Spitfire that just barely made it back to base.  could be a interesting scene.
