Thanks for the information, Widewing. Did you find out if Meyer was flying a Messerschmitt or a Focke-Wulf 190? I've seen sources say both.

If it was remotely normal for a plane to take that much damage and live, lotsa folks would get frustrated (well, more than they are NOW) and quit the game.

Man I've read that book at least 5 times since I was 10 years old in 1970--went to the 8th Air Force museum in Savannah, and Johnson was given very little attention compared to several of the others in the 56th. I always had the impression he wasn't well-thought of

I watched that Friday night and wound up with the whole family standing around watching it. Fantastic film and great story. Would love to see / participate in making films such as this.
