was watching one of the tapes in my Hunter of the Skies series last night.
this one dealt with the airwar in the Pacific.
One pilot described the ultimate chute shootin RL example though it didn't involve a parachute at all
he told the story of how when his buddy hit a jap troop transport ship midship, the 1500 to 2000 soldiers jumped over board and were swimming around the sinkin ship
what do you think the US pilots did, fly by and salute them?
nope - they strafed them until the water was red with blood and the neighborhood sharks took over - "the sharks were having a real feast"..
that was RL, the rest is comic book crap
