Once i did a fatal mistake. Tryed to save my own cv from a set of 12k b24s. I was BnZing on the set in a 262, got two and just removed the wing of the third one, when got lighten up by the own puffy. I wasnt over my carryer, about 6-7 miles away plus at altitude, still, pretty much the first shot got me (not to count that was useless anyway...). Epic fail : )
Other thing, but also loved when was trying to land a 9-killer f6f sortie with a wingtip missing and a really intelligent guy got me with the manned puffy almost on the deck...
I have a couple more epic fail stories : )
