New aviation film "Wolf Hound" presents beautiful real images of warbirds
Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 06/12/2022 - 12:28 PM in Fun, Military
During World War II, a German squadron repaired captured Allied aircraft and used them in "wolf with sheep's clothing" attacks against the allies.
Now there's a new movie explaining how everything worked. Lionsgate Movies has released "Wolf Hound" in selected theaters and digital platforms and there is a lot to watch for warbird fans. About a third of the two-hour film is air-to-air filming. No computer-generated images were used in the aerial shots.
Inspired by the real-life German special operations unit KG200, which shot down, repaired and flew allied aircraft such as Trojan horses, "Wolf Hound" takes place in 1944 in German-occupied France and follows the daring exploits of the Jewish-American fighter pilot Captain David Holden. Ambushed behind enemy lines, Holden must rescue a captured crew of the B-17 Flying Fortress, escape from a ruthless enemy who pursues him at every step and thwart a plan that could completely alter the outcome of World War II.
Featuring action sequences using old aircraft, this exciting World War II epic shows how a man's courage can change the world.
In addition to the P-51 and Spitfires, the star of the show is the B-17 "Yankee Lady" from the Yankee Air Museum, which, in the film, was set to be the platform for a devastating attack on London. The film stars James Maslow as the hero who saves the day, and is directed by Michael Chait, who comes from a family of pilots in Michigan.
The true story of the B-17 "Wulfe Hund"
The B-17F aircraft "Wulfe Hund" serial number 41-24585 portrayed in the film belonged to the 360o Bomber Squadron "Hell's Angels" of the 303rd USAFE Bomber Group.
Damaged by German fighter jets during a bombing on December 12, 1942 and was further damaged during its return flight by a NJG 1 Bf 110. Lieutenant Flickinger pilot was forced to land at Leeuwarden airfield in the Netherlands. The plane was repaired and two days later (after adding the German national insignia), and escorted by two Bf 110, flew to Rechlin.
The aircraft was tested and subsequently provided experience in Germany and France for several fighter units so that Luftwaffe pilots could recognize the strengths and weaknesses of the 'Flying Fortress'. The plane was exhibited at Lärz airfield on June 12, 1943 during an exhibition of captured Allied planes. Along with the B-17F, other planes such as B-24, P-47D, P-51, P-38, Avro Lancaster, DH Mosquito, Typhoon and Spitfire were shown.
The "Wulf Hound" returned to Rechlin in July 1943 and was used in tests with the DFS 230 glider. The plane was transferred to the KG200 in September 1943 and coded A3+AE.
He was repaired and taken to Germany. This is the first B-17 that the Germans were able to capture intact and that they were able to take back in flight. The plane was repainted with German insignia and received the DL XC markings. The Germans then named him "Wulfe Hound".
His first flight with the Luftwaffe was on March 17, 1943. He was later transferred to the Luftwaffe Squadron KG200, where he participated in the training of Luftwaffe crews, fighter pilots and flights on secret missions.

The Dark One’s Dictionary: Miscellaneous Characters
Selected definitions from "The Dark One's Dictionary", written by various Robert-Jordan-reading members of the usenet discussion group rasfw.
Farstrider, Jain
A roving investigative reporter with the uncanny ability to disguise himself as anyone and appear in unexpected places.
Subject of many books and stories, the most notable being an exhaustive travelogue compiled from his notes by Joode Ji'ardelhi titled "Gallivanting About the Glove." Believed to have tailed Moiraine on the way to Baerlon (See TEotW, Cover), and suspected of being a former Warder and wolfbrother, and disguising himself as Silvie in Tel'aran'rhiod, as well as being the true identity of Padan Fain.
Currently believed to be residing in the Mountains of Mist near Eldrene's Veil, though some believe he is currently undercover working on an expose of mistreatment of animals and violation of labor laws disguised as a handsome menagerie owner.*
Hawkwing, Artur
Legendary king, Artur Paendrag Billy-Bob Jack Joe Smith. Freshmen class vice president, football team defensive captain, Golden Crane club, ruled the civilized world FY 943-972. Sent armies to squash the rutabaga farmers' rebellion in West Manetheren, but his soldiers were never heard from again. (The military postmaster did receive some odd letters from lovesick sheep, though.) His death set off the War of the Hundred Yards. His sign was a brown pigskin in flight.
Kadere, Hadnan
A man who paid the price for selling the wrong knowledge. A man with enormous respect for his friends, holding them as near to his heart as his own sister.
Machera, Elyas
A wolf in man's clothing.
Moiraine
An Aes Sedai of Cairhienin origin, which is to say worse than a normal Aes Sedai and worse than a normal Cairhienin.
[CCR: "Proud Mary"]
Left a good House in Cairhien
Workin' for the Light every night and day,
But I never lost a minute of sleepin'
Worryin' 'bout the way things might have been
Big Wheel keep on turnin'
Great Serpent keep on eatin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin' through the Ages.
Cleaned a lot of plates in Tar Valon,
Pumped a lot of water onto my Gaidin
But I never saw the bad side of the Dragon
'Til I walked the rings down in Rhuidean.
Big Wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Moiraine keep on burnin'
Burnin', burnin', burnin' by the river.
If you come down to the river
Bet we're gonna find a future to live
You don't have to worry 'bout hurting a woman,
People of the Dragon are happy to give.
Big Wheel keep on turnin'
Ta'veren keep on pullin'
Weavin', weavin', weavin' the Lace of Ages.
Proud Moiraine, composed by Blin'da Ay'Bel, performed by Emond's Manetheren Revival, from Songs of the Dragon
*I assume this was written around The Fires of Heaven, and based on what I can tell from actual period speculation on Jain Farstrider’s identity, all these suggestions are obvious jokes- we don’t get a good hint about Jain until Winter’s Heart. But given where Jain Farstrider actually ends up, you can see why I was motivated to double-check...

The Irish & Celtic Music Podcast is a for-profit endeavor that is funded by you. I cannot pay royalties to artists because of the nature of podcast. It’s cost-prohibitive. You can read about that on my website.
So I found a different way to give back. A portion of the money raised from compilation CD sales and from your Patreon donations is donated to Celtic Non-Profits. We already donated money to the Savannah Irish Festival to help some of the artists featured on this podcast. We are also sponsoring the Texas Scottish Festival in May. And now in September, we’re also sponsoring Middle Tennessee Highland Games & Celtic Festival. We have donated over $35,000 to Celtic Non-Profits.
But I want to stress, that’s not me. That’s all of us. Everyone who supports this podcast is supporting Celtic culture through music. These festivals bring our musical heritage alive. So thank you for being a part of that.
CELTIC PODCAST NEWS
While you’re there, I want to ask you to post a review on Apple Podcasts. Right now, we are 37 reviews away from 1000. That’s incredible to think about especially considering I haven’t asked anyone to post a review in a long time.
If you listen to podcasts, I want to recommend a couple that I enjoy and are Celtic in nature. Irish Music Stories is put out by Irish musician Shannon Heaton. She looks at the bigger stories behind traditional Irish music. It’s extremely well-produced and well worth subscribing
Erin’s Isle is a short travel podcast. Erin brings you the delightful parts of Ireland in intriguing stories that’ll make you want to learn more. Her show is even syndicated on Aer Lingus and British Airways. It’s that good. And a lot of fun!
If you want more St Patrick’s Day music, check out the St Patrick’s Day podcast. It’s a 7-part series I released years ago. It’s music with minimal chatting. It’s perfect for playing in the background of your own Paddy’s Day party.
I’d be negligent if I didn’t tell you about my own personal podcast. The Pub Songs Podcast is the virtual public house for Celtic Geek culture. I put together several St Patrick’s Day episodes including the latest which is a Sci Fi St Patrick’s Day. Because, well, I’m a geek.
You can find more podcasts by me and others in my Mage Podcast Network or when you subscribe to the Celtic Music Magazine. Because I tell you what’s new in the Celtic podcast world in every issue. And it’s still free!
TRAVEL WITH CELTIC INVASION VACATIONS
Every year, I take a small group of Celtic music fans on the relaxing adventure of a lifetime. We don't see everything. Instead, we stay in one area. We get to know the region through its culture, history, and legends. You can join us with an auditory and visual adventure through podcasts and videos. Learn more about the invasion at http://celticinvasion.com/
LEARN IRISH DANCE
Irish music, dance, and culture have global appeal, but not everyone has the opportunity to access lessons in their neighborhood.
Online Irish Dance offers courses for people who want to learn the basics of Irish dance for fun—no matter where they are in the world!
The course called Irish Dance Basics for Ceili Dancing is specifically designed to teach students the basic movements required in ceili, or group, dancing. The moves are taught with music of varying speeds, and modules are included that introduce stretches and strengthening exercises to keep students’ bodies safe while they practice.
Sign up today at online-Irish-dance.teachable.com and use the code SPD2020 for 25% off any course in the school through March 31, 2020.
I should point out. They are not a sponsor of the podcast. And I have no affiliation. They asked if I’d share. It sounded like something I thought you might be interested in.
FREE MUSIC
How would you like a free album of Celtic music? Every year, I compile the 17 Free Celtic MP3s for St Patrick’s Day. In fact, if you listened to and enjoyed show #250, then you can now download every single one of those songs for free. Follow the link in the shownotes.
There are NO STRINGS ATTACHED. The download page is on our Patreon. It’s open to the public. So you can just click and download the free MP3s. You don’t need to sign up for a single thing.
Now if you want MORE FREE MP3s, you can also subscribe to the Celtic Music Magazine. Every week, you will get a few cool bits of Celtic music news. It's a quick and easy way to plug yourself into more great Celtic culture. Plus, you'll get 34 Celtic MP3s for Free, just for signing up today.
And if that’s not enough… I want you to have a Free CD of mine. It’s an album of Irish songs called Happy Songs of Death. I actually featured it on episode #83 of the podcast. But you can have the physical CD. I will swallow the cost of the disc. You just have to pay for the shipping. Follow the link in the shownotes. I don’t know how long this offer will last. So get it soon!
