Looks interesting
What is with this `breaking formation` comment? Night missions by Bomber Command were flown as individual a/c.
There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB.
The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed.
There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

The 1943 Berlin Blitz experience on the Oculus Rift is definitely worth a try.
Taking actual audio recordings made by a BBC reporter who went on a Lancaster raid on Berlin in 1943, this VR experience places you in a Lancaster during a night time raid. You see the wall of searchlights as you approach the Dutch coast and the wall of AAA as you approach a burning Berlin. Really gives you a small feel for what it was like, and it's a free download.

Looks pretty good. Nice to see more obscure war stories being told without over dramatizing them.
Pity Peter Jackson never remade the Dam Busters, he so long ago promised. Peter Jackson through it all away making Mortal Engine instead of Dam Busters

The most likely case is that Jackson couldn't get enough studios and/or investors to provide the funding for a Dam Busters movie. As for "Mortal Engines" though, that was a colossal box office flop so indeed it turned out to be a wasted effort.
