Edgar "Cobber" Kain flew Hurricanes in the Battle of France with 73 Squadron.  His unit was recalled to England as France was bing over run.  After taking off for his flight home he did a victory roll over the French airfield were 73 Squadron had been stationed.  While doing the victory roll he crashed upside down and died.  'Cobber' Kain had 17 kills at the time of his death.

Actually, as much as i hate to nitpick, you're incorrect - 61 is his "official" tally. I have more soviet sources than you can shake a stick at

Wasn't it the 8th or 2nd Air Force, or something like that.

2. Who was the First woman to fly in a US plane on a Combat mission Jan. 22 , 1943

not gonna look it up, but my guess would be one of the russian babes mentioned in the last set of questions. Probably a P-39 or P-40.

[fd ski]

hm.. did someone say something bad about WB trainers ?

[sidthekid]

Shoe fits FD?

[Red Ant]

Well, I found sources that list Kozhedub's victories variously at 59, 61, 62, 63 and even one source claiming 73. The current "official" russian claim is 62, as you said. Interestingly enough, I have his book ( or one of his books) where he himself claims 61.

So I guess I owe ya an appology for trying to be a snooty know-it-all

As for the cheap shot at WB.... in the words of an old WB legend...

2. Who was the First woman to fly in a US plane on a Combat mission Jan. 22 , 1943


 last question still not answered. This woman flew on a USA bombing mission only woman  to fly in combat in a USA air force plane.?

[midnight Target]

Famed LIFE magazine photographer Margaret Bourke White was the first woman to fly with a United States combat squadron over enemy territory. Despite the risks, she was given permission to fly with “Little Bill,” a 12th Air Force B-17 in Algeria on Jan. 22, 1943. She said later she minded only the 38-degree-below-zero temperature while hanging out over the open bomb bay. She recalled how her breath froze in her oxygen mask hose and her fingers went numb. She tried shooting photos with her head and shoulders exposed at the radio operator’s gun hatch, but the slipstream was too strong. She finally took most of her photos from the waist gun positions.

good question!
