French Countryside

Open rural roads snake through fields under clear day skies. A Nazi Messerschmitt dive-bomber screams down, machine guns rattling—bullets stitch the ground, shredding air and erupting dirt geysers around the speeding car. Indy wrenches the wheel in tight evasions; Henry white-knuckles the dash, shouting amid the roar of engines and impacts. Tranquil landscape erupts into strafed warzone.
