Tattoo idea, real aces that fought each other
« on: February 21, 2015, 12:16:13 PM »
Im looking to find some info on real aces that went head to head.

My idea is a fore arm sleeve. Have the nose/cockpits of each aircraft and have the aircraft/pilot who lost the fight be all shot up and the pilots head a skull, symbolizing he is dead.

But it would be cool to use some historical figures and accurate aircraft markings and nose art.

WW1 OR WW2

On your other arm you could tattoo the words "Unemployable".

Except for the fact that im an electrician working for the fed, and have no regulations against getting tattoos. So no, not really... I am employed, and planning on staying till retirement.

I'll see what I can dig up but in WWII few aces went head to head. You're more likely to get that in WWI.

The two that spring to mind:
Adolf 'Sailor' Malan vs Werner Molders.
Saburo Sakai vs Pug Sutherland

No skull to be had in the Milan-Molders mix.

Nor the Sakai-Sutherland fight, though Sutherland was shot down he did survive.
Thought of another:
George Beurling vs Furio Niclot Doglio
George Beurling vs Francesco Pecchiari
George Beurling vs Carlo Seganti

In all three cases the Italian aces perished.

That's crazy.  Everyone know that one goes on your forehead.

John Dundas Spitfire I vs Helmut Wick 109E.   Dundas got Wick.  Wicks wingman got Dundas.

Terry Spencer Spit XII v Bully Lang 190A8.  Spencer got Lang

Wasn't the Japanese pilot involved the the fight where Tommy McGuire spun in an Ace?

You should get a tattoo that says I make bad decisions. Oh wait, that's what all tattoos say  :D

Surely von Richthofen - Hawker is the best known, though I find the whole thing ghoulish.
