Close shot medals STORYLINE On the eve of the 60th anniversary of the Japanese surrender in World War Two, more than one hundred veteran pilots who fought the Japanese during the war gathered at the Beijing Aviation Museum in Beijing to relive their memories of a battle hard won. A simulated air battle was performed at the Beijing Aviation Museum. Model aeroplanes representing the Japanese bombers, and the bombers flown by the so-called "Flying Tigers" - the American volunteer pilots group in China during World War II took part. The simulated battle was based on a real one which took place in December 1944 in the sky over China, when four Japanese bombers, covered by 16 fighters, bombed southwest China. On their way back to the base, eight Flying Tigers suddenly attacked them and most of the Japanese planes were shot down. The Flying Tigers were a group of American fighter pilots that flew for China in the early part of 1942. Led by Colonel Claire Chennault, they were actually called the "American Volunteer Group" (AVG), and achieved good success in their aerial battles against the Japanese. The war between China and Japan started in July 1937 and ended on August 15th of 1945 when Japan announced its surrender.

This highly-unusual promotional film for the F-16 made by General Dynamics consists mainly of interviews with 20th Century fighter-pilot aces, who recall the performance of their planes and of enemy aircraft. Aces interviewed include W.C. Bill Lambert from World War 1 (footage of Manfred Baron von Richthofen is also in this segment), the second-ranking American ace of World War I. Lambert claimed 18 air-to-air victories, eight fewer than "Ace of Aces" Eddie Rickenbacker, and won the DFC. Also interviewed is the Luftwaffe's Adolf Galland who flew in the Spanish Civil War and World War 2; the Royal Air Force's Douglas Bade and Robert Stanford-Tuck, Norway's Sven Heglund, American David Lee "Tex" Hill, the WWII Luftwaffe pilot Erich Hartmann; U.S. Air Force pilot Francis Gabreski from World War 2 and the Korean War; USAF pilot Ralph Parr from the Korean War; and Steve Ritchie, the only ace from the Vietnam War. Planes discussed by the aces and shown in action include the SE5, FW-190, Spitfire, ME-109, ME-110, Hurricane, P-40, Zero, P-47, P-51, ME-262, F-86, MIG-15, and F-16.
