Junkers Ju 87 Stuka

Despite action is set in May and June 1940, the first Stukas are those D or G models, not on the front line units before the summer 1941.

A more classic B (or long-range R) variant used in 1940 :

The next footage is used too in a documentary ; read the Talk:Espoir, sierra de Teruel.

Again, a late variant (anachronistic) :

Junkers Ju 52/3m

Most probably the same footage of D1+4? seen IMPDb: Frequently Seen Aircraft (Military Fixed-Wing).

Unidentified Bristol Aircraft

Bristol Blenheim or Bristol Fairchild Bolingbroke or Bristol Beaufort ?
This shape is supporting the action of Junkers Ju 88.

Junkers Ju 88

or A.A.B. 1 ? (look at the discussion tab and Talk:Normandija – Neman).
Careful observation of the underside of the wings reveals that during the first strafing pass, the aircraft is different from the one seen in Normandija – Neman (the deleted roundel are not at the same place here). But in the second pass, it was the same footage that was reused in 1960.
