  Thx Mace!


  It's easy for us to say this or that about cartoon airplanes but we both know it's a lot different in the real deal!

   Most guys would be banging their head off the canope trying some of the moves we do regularly in our cartoon planes and we sure don't feel the G forces or fatigue.I do experience a version of it tho,it's what keeps us here,that adrenaline rush but It's not quite the same I'm sure...... we don't have that pucker factor!


   Mace I was fortunate enough to grow up hearing stories about the air war,so I heard many axioms.....  not always the polite ones we can mention on the forums.. :devil

Great post Mace.

... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB
