Germany's Greatest Ace
Artist Credit: Snap Shot provided by Skull12
On April 26, Adolf Galland Led six Me 262’s against a flight of B-26 Marauders heading south toward Munich. Galland approached the twin-engine medium bombers from the front, passing over them and then turning back; he would attack from the rear, in the prescribed manner. Galland released the safety on his rockets and 30mm cannon as the enemy’s tail guns began to blink balefully. Tense and excited as usual in combat, he lined up his rockets on the rearmost Marauder. “I was in the best firing position” he said later; “I had aimed accurately and pressed my thumb flat on the release button--with no result, Maddening!” He had forgotten about a second safety on the missiles.
