Perhaps I will tell you the story of the even braver (suicidal) knight p47-d30 pilots who destroyed the bishop HQ a few hours after our own was senselessly destroyed. The 4 of us, flying at 20 ft off the ground, made our way to the bishop HQ. Saving our bombs and rockets, we strafed the hq for 3 minutes until nothing remained. Jarbo, the flight leader, then told us to come about to 270 and proceed at top speed. About this time I spotted a high plane, one of the extremely popular N1ks of course. Still carrying bombs and rockets there was very little we could do to defend ourselves. I turned into the attack and managed a couple of pings on the N1k, but it only took him one turn and he was behind me moving at a speed much greater than the p47 could go. One ping later the entire tail seperated from my p47 and I found myself reaching for the eject lever.
We had completed our mission, guaranteeing victory for the Knights and defeat for the Bishops, but at a high price. Not long after the war ended.
