I can relate to that experience in a way. I flew a goon around fairly close to an enemy base by a hillside. Squad had things under control, but somehow this flight of B17's managed to slip through all the mayhem and pass over my C47 around 500ft above me, blazing his 50cal's. He was so intent on killing me that the hillside took care of him.
