I was flying in the DA and lost my right wingtip in my mossie, so i lessened the power in my #2 engine and got down into flap range. Lowered the flaps, and flew home. Even got her down on the runway.

Lost both wingtips on an F4U-1A on take off, managed to get it up using full flaps, and then proceded to drop my bomb on the town. Got a kill on an M8 defending against LVT's. He PM'd me saying "what the hell is up with your plane? looks like you're missing your wings". unfortunatly, I stalled when trying to land.

Gotta call B.S. on this one.  Anyone that is crappy enough to lose wing tips on take off doesn't suddenly increase in skill and be able to fly around with both wing tips missing (when missing wing tips like people are describing, other parts are also missing like ailerons), drop bombs and get a kill.  Yeah, a big fat Bull Scatology on this one unless you can dig up some film to prove it.

I lost the wing tips in a Brewster while trying to fly it through the new hangars. I could still turn either way, climb, dive, and strafe supply trucks with ease.

Believe what you will, since I'm not going to change your mind. And no, I don't have a film since I had to get a new hard drive when my brother hit my computer with his pogo stick (yeah, I don't know).

If you wish, I will up an F4U with the 500lb bomb (thats usually what I take), let you shoot both my wing tips off with a tank's pintil gun. I'll do the 10 min climb out, and then drop my bomb, attempting to hit you.

I lost both wing tips in an F4U and landed it on a CV.  It was more of a crash landing, but I got a successful landing :)

The period button must be stuck on his keyboard. Oh wait, he used 3 periods at the end to make up for it.
