The United States remains the last best hope for a mankind plagued by tyranny and deprivation. America is no stronger than its people - and that means you and me. Well, I believe in you, and I believe that if we work together then one day we will say, ``We fought the good fight. We finished the race We kept the faith.'' And to our children and our children's children we can say, ``We did all that could be done in the brief time that was given to us here on earth



Thank you for the posting this.

sorry i don't the answer to your question though.

Eight?
Blimey, I once had 3 one eyed craftsmen working in the shed at the same time, so I bet there were more in WW2.....:D
It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

G/C Bertie Rex O'Bryen Hoare - RAF Intruder pilot who flew throughout WWII despite having lost an eye in a pre-war accident.

Cheers,

... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB
