And here's the video how these «steel beasts» were delivered to Igromir.

The Ace of the Month feature has now been running since March, and has brought ace biographies, skins, decals and special offers to War Thunder. Now you have the chance to win Golden Eagles by capturing the spirit of these extraordinary aviators with action packed screenshots!

The rules for this competition are slightly different to previous competitions; whilst you still have to try to capture the action and excitement of the game, you now have the additional constraint of keeping things as visually realistic as possible.

Honor in the sky – 20th December 1943

2nd Lt Charlie Brown was a B-17 Flying Fortress pilot with the 379th Bomber Group at RAF Kimbolton, England. His B-17 was called 'Ye Old Pub' and was in a terrible state, having been hit by flak and fighters. The compass was damaged and they were flying deeper over enemy territory instead of heading home to RAF Kimbolton. The B-17 suffered terrible damage: The nose was smashed; the tail section was missing part of a wing and the top of the tail. One engine was out and the fuselage was littered with bullet holes.

And we also would like to introduce a fan made film by a father and sons combo, showing the fictional sortie made by P38 pilot Ben Rogers returning to base after escort duty with a squadron of B17's, Ben has to fight a storm on two fronts, the weather is against him and the enemy wants blood. A heroic story of courage and skill, apt that he should be flying the Lightning for his last mission against all the odds. This is an example of the commitment and conviction shown by many world war two pilots and the dedication by our fans to show a game off to it's best. Thank you to all our fans out there!

Lieutenant Bukchin, Simeon Zinofeevich
Fighter Pilot, 129th Guards Fighter Regiment

I received a very cold welcome when I joined the regiment. Gulaev vehemently protested when he heard that I had been appointed his wingman, «Why did they give me a Jew!!!» Yes, and the regimental commander Bobrov himself called me «Abram» instead of my real name. But enough! Such antisemitism is on his conscience; maybe Smushkevich denied him a decoration in Spain? But I became real friends with Gulaev, and more than once we saved each other's life. By the way, he never let anything antisemitic slip in my presence.
