On This Day 1815 the Lancaster AWACS (Airplane With A Circular Spinner) played a pivotal role in assisting 4 British Spitfires defeat over 3000 French Le Messer-du-Schmitts at the Battle of Waterloo.

Typical RAF to have a satellite dish fitted so they can watch an inflight movie on the way to battle.

The Prussian VC-10s were a late but very valuable addition to the aerial battles as I recall.

Weren't their tails docked. Thank the lord, they made that illegal. Obviously didn't help the dc10's defence. Or the tails that dropped off? Damn the fashion police.
