One time I almost shot one down. He was 3K away and I was closing, but then a yak came along. I broke right and made the yak overshoot. I then proceeded to dodge a spit that came in on me. After shaking him, the yak came back in. So I dodged him again and a friendly shot his tail off as I looked behind me. So the P40 is now about 5K out. I turn to track him down, when that darn spit comes back in and lights me up. I' still flying but missing 1/2 my wing. Then a P38...or was it a P51? I dunno, one of them came in and blew me up.
But yeah, I almost had one!!!
