What ww2 pilot would you be?

[earl1937]

Your flying style, tactics...

 Not nesscarily the planes you like to fly.... Who would you be?

Jimmie Stewart or Jasper C. Davis, both great bomber pilots in WW2!

Iea Takihashi.

The day he was supposed to fly his A6m out and die, F6fs strafed his field wounding him on the ground. He spent the last four months of WW2 laying in a hospital bed.

I studied Iaido from him at his home in San Bruno CA during the late 1980's. At the Esalen Institute in Big Sur, he threw me into a hot spring bath full of German stewardess to try and cure me of being shy. Then sang Japanese love songs to them while holding my head between their....hmmmmmm to help me get over my shyness. He loved women as much as he loved sumi-e. He had a lot of female friends who loved his sumi-e.

Not bad for a fighter pilot.

"who knows something"

I should've been more specific. Self-taught sticks could be good but yet be uninformed of this right?

Anyway what I wanted to get to is the fact that to me out sounded as if you were implying that this certain quality in skill was unique to your own self. It left me with a bitter taste in my mouth.

If the statement was "my shooting technique is very similar to XYZ's," then by definition I'm stating that it's a skill someone else possesses. There's nothing in it that implies it's unique whatsoever.

It was that along with the quote that got me.
And not because the single time the word "unique" is used in it but I just had a feeling.

The word unique wasn't used to describe his shooting, just his method of training and preparing for it.

As for me, I don't think I'm unique, I'm more of a textbook energy fighter than anything. That's why I said Hartmann fit my flight style the best.

Here we go again...

The word unique wasn't used to describe his shooting.

But instead his method.
I didn't say his shooting.


You misunderstood me, sorry. I just was hoping when I mentioned the quote that you wouldn't  think I said "you implied your shooting method was unique" because I see the word once in the quote.

I didn't want to give you the feeling that that quote on Marseille was misinterpreted by myself as your analyzation of a "unique" quality of you simply because I saw the word describe one of Marseille's tactics.

Here we go again...

I'm not trying to troll

A German Butcher Bird pilot, who mostly flew in the Western front, ended the war alive with 50-80 kills. Very solid, though no where near the ubber sticks who wracked up 100+, 200+, etc. Bottom line, bring your "A" game or I will kill you every time.

boo
