My father's Jane VI - March 22, 1945 strafing Memingen A/F near Munich.

Either 37mm or 40mm flak hit on rudder. Allegedly he recovered from a snap roll after this hit.

In all he received flak damage on four Mustangs that he brought back to England - and one he left behind enemy lines in France. Four belly landings of the five.

This was the only 'normal' landing of the five

Junkers88A1,
no offense, but the story of "All American" is slightly different.:confused:
Below a copy from the Osprey's # 38 "B-17 Flying Fortress units of the MTO".
