In Gerald Astors "The Mighty Eigth" A P47 pilot said, "first guy across the field get the kills, while the guys behind him get shot"

I agree we need better ack on the fields.

Yup, I knew the AH Tempest was Closterman's (I requested 3 Fighter Squadron to HTC before Tempest out, dunno if they took notice or not?!

), but I wanted to know if the write up was when he was with 274 Sqn or 3 Sqn? He didn't join 3 (F) Sqn until 30 March 1945.

In that story the author saw one Tiffie auger and one hit an AAA tower. I wonder how many actually got shot down, as opposed to crashing due to the obvious difficult terrain for a high speed NOE attack. IIRC the author didn't see anyone get shot down.

In AH flying over a field at 450 is deadly. Try slower, less damage...
