Bandit at Five
This is not a good day for this pilot.
Mechanical breakdown, a crash landing, the
ice breaks under the weight of the plane and
on top of it all - wolves!
The title draws on the aviation slang used to
identify the position of the enemy quickly in
combat, in this case the hunter has become
the hunted.
I picked an unspecified location at the end of
war for my scene, somewhere where wolves
would be appropriate but I have to admit
although the aircraft’s camouflage is real
there is no evidence that it was used on
aircraft operating with this type of radar (A6-
R11) in this year. My model has been chosen
as more of an exercise to experiment with
snow and ice effects and story telling rather
than as an example of strict historical
accuracy!
