17 in a CHOG and 14 2x in an f6. No rearms. Darn happy to land 2 most days. One of the f6 runs was kind of funny. Ack was fresh dead and 2 guys kept upping in spit IX's. I started seeing how few rounds I could use to shoot them down since I was running low. Some one asked me how I got so many kills. I told them I couldn't get any help. So I had to do all the vulching myself.
Then a N1K1 tried to HO me when I was RTB. Ended landing with a partial wing. Was a pretty touchie landing. Some one took out the N1K1 for me. Thank goodness.
22 kills in tiger once. Not a GV'er. Even then a squadie brought me supplies to fix my Tiger so I could move about 10 yards to cement. You really never do this type of things alone. At least I haven't. If I land a bunch of kills it's because I had some wingies covering me.
those folks.
What I'm most proud of is #1 helping my countrymen or my squadies and another incident where I didn't get any kills (Well I had one but from an earlier encounter). I was caught low and slow by 3 BnZ ponies. Everytime I would reverse one another came in just before I got lined up and I would reverse them. This went on for about 15 minutes. I just could not believe I was fending them off so well with such low E. Finally a wingie or two came to my aid. By this time the p51s were much slower and 2 ran as ponies seem to do. I had been the only survivor in a mini furball. Again, thank goodness for wingies!
