A true ace and hero

Oh, I know.  But what you claimed about Wikipedia is an absolute falsehood.  I think there's plenty of good criticisms of Wikipedia's epistemological standards, but spreading falsehoods like "anyone can write anything" does no one any good.

I've never read anything about him personally. I'll have to check it out. Always looking for a good read on the air war.


As for escorting bombers..... from my reading the spits were notoriously short legged. I'll have to checkout the books. <S>

Spits covered the bombers as far as they could.  Closterman talks about some of the first use of 90 gallon slipper tanks on their Spits to try and extend the escort range.  In general the Spits would cover the bombers in, hand off to the Jugs, 38s and later the Mustangs, and then cover the bombers on the way out.

That is what I have read <S>

You know, it's one thing to smack talk someone in the game because you don't approve of what they fly, but to apply the same standards to anyone who contributed to most of Europe not speaking German today is appalling and shows just how far we, as a society, have slipped.

No regards for ignorance and disrespect,

I have to agree with the above comment. It's one thing to poke fun at people in a simulator. It's an entirely different thing to slap people who defended against an impeding evil.

Sorry, chairrman, it shall not happen again.  For all future humor-seekers, see rule # 3,743,534 section 4-c.

Nope, not the French citizen only some "politics" and "artist" do.

Y'all can joke in the game all you want, from one player to another. However, respect is due when it comes to people in the real world that contributed to the cause of freedom by sweat and blood. There's a line where joke should stop, and for me that's where I draw.

Best regard from Iraq,

Nice pattern of arrogantly demeaning others yet being unable to counter the actual point.  I guess that's easier than admitting I'm right.  Feel free to get in the last word.  You can't help yourself.
