Great read.. thanks..

It Turned out a 20 mm knocked two or
three cylinders off my engine. That Pratt Whitney never stopped.
I'm telling you, those people deserve a medal for that engine, I've
never seen one like it.

The Jug is certainly a very robust plane, no wonder so many pilots rated it as their favourite mount!
