... 20FG entered N. Euro. combat at the end of Dec, '43. First contacted Luftwaffe on 29 Jan. '44. Downed 3 FW-190, 3 Me-110, 3 Me-210, 1 Me-109. No P-38s lost. 3 FWs downed by Lindol Graham, who used only his single 20mm cannon, 12 shots per plane. (Lindol later crashed and was killed while attempting to kill the fleeing crew of an Me-110 he had just forced down in a low-level fight. The two men were floundering across a
snow-covered field and it appeared that Lindol attempted to hit them with his props. His plane seemed to hit the ground, then bounce back up, soaring into a chandelle, then falling off on its nose and diving straight into the ground.)

well done, for the bastard. He well deserved it.

[edit]I'd say just the same if he had been German.

A scene from Catch 22 comes to mind. Poor Crazy Joe.

Still one of the best effects I've ever seen in a move.
