I dont usually <S> .. think it's a bit frivolous at best.
Sorry to see a great Air Warrior go, ..he had big brass ones.
Personally .. if I had lived then and there, I'da been all over that glider school action, and into 109's just as soon as I possibly could have.
Prolly would have been shot by Hitler tho ..or Himmler .. or any of the countless idiots he surrounded himself with.
'Takin the bird up for a checkflight, those 20mm's don't sound right .. gimme a full clip and I will go try them out'
This just in: Hitler was strafed today by a rogue ME-109 on a road outside Berlin. Nothing was left but roadkill.
The 109 is beleived to have flown to England and landed there.
But .. that's just me.
