Monk ... because I still outrank you and you already master the ancient art of plane waxing, I have a new hobby for you. Here are two buckets of paint, you see all those blue planes on the flight line? ... i want them grey/green. ... Yep ... life is a squeak.

Mitsu, it's a very nice painting. I can see that's not the 56th flying, who did borrowed our planes!?!?!?! You will never see 4 P47s chasing the same Me109 "MA style":D

In 1944, Gunther Rall (flying the Messersmidt Me-109G) was a pilot in the Luftwaffe squadron known as "Zemke's Wolfpack".


AHHHHHHHHHHH:mad: Somebody shoot me!;)

Guenther Rall bounced a flight of P-47's that he thought would break and scatter, as so often happened early in 1943, when the Jug pilots were relatively inexperienced.  He nailed two of them I believe, but to Rall's surprise, they didn't scatter.  They came hell-bent-for-leather after him.

It was Hub Zemke's Wolfpack.

Rall lived through the encounter, but had a thumb blown off by a .50 caliber slug.  He subsequently suffered an infection that kept him hospitalized and out of action for several months, and may have ultimately saved his life, for he missed much of the deadly combat of the 1943-44 period.
