I am an expert in this area but this one tonite was a bit of fun. In the furball over TT and got clobbered. Somehow managed to limp away smoking and bleeding. Outbound single engine on the deck hoping to land at the VH before I bleed to death. Spit 8 comes racing in to finish me. Got him to overshoot, and shot him to bits. Another guy augered trying to finish off my wreck at the same time. Went from 3-5 kills while mostly blacked out :)
Blacked out as I tried to land it at the VH but bounced, bent the props and rolled to a stop for the ditch. Not sure my crew chief can fix this one :)

But at least I got credit for a succesful landing on mine (scorepotato that I am).

Can anybody join this party? This one I took a while back 'bout a month or two.
Note the one engine was dead and the other was losing oil. I think I dinged the prop on landing, but was on 1 engine anyways!

I don't have screens of it, but I brought an F4U in without elevators once. Even stuck it on concrete. ;)
WOULD have done it once more, but I came to a stop on the big pad right as the full payload of a Lanc formation overshot the FHs. :p

But how much of that is "made it home safely" and how much of that is "really screwed up the final approach"?

I know this aint a p38, but it's a pretty violent landing nonetheless.
The mission was to sink a CV, which I accomplished but not after getting hit in 3 of my 4 gas tanks, my left wheel and tail wheel gone, 1 engine gone, all turrets out, oil leaks in my number 1 & 2 engines, and a pilot wound.
My engines cut out about 500 yards from the runway after running out of fuel, at which point I was too fast from anticipating a long glide (I climbed too high).
Slammed down on one wheel, and had to keep wings level while braking with my only remaining gear. End result, I couldn't bleed all the speed off before I got to the end of the runway, so I hit full right rudder (had enough speed for it to matter) and the plane's left wing gouged the cement, ripping it off and spinning the plane around to face the direction I had landed.
My crew threw up all over the back.
