Interesting pilot quote...
« on: March 15, 2005, 01:32:33 PM »
From Edwards Park's book about flying the P39 in the Pacific "Angels Twenty"

Something about it described AH2 as we know it.

"The war was changing.  The "Cobras were being used as they were designed, doing the job for which they'd been built.  And I liked it.  Low-level work may have been demanding and hot, but it was exciting and a bit daring, without the terrible challenge of one mediocre pilot battling another, who might not be at all mediocre, high in the sky with no place to hide..."

Who as a mediocre pilot seems to find himself high in the sky with no place to hide too often against someone not so mediocre :)
