If you were a pilot, how many Kills would you be satisfied with? (1 Viewer)

[Glider]

The minimum required to get the job done and keep my friends safe

Being a fighter pilot in World War II, I would do my duty and fly as often as required. I would, however, be happy enough with just surviving the war.

i have the same PoV: i would fly a soviet style, carrying out escort sortees for Il-2, Il-4, Pe-2. not quite a hunter lifestyle, but for me it would be enough to be proud.

p.s. poll is not adequate, and could be one with just one option added: "it's not a factor"

 

[Soundbreaker Welch?]

Yeah, that would have been a good option.


Oh well..

 

[Le Stuka]

100+ to raise morale of your squadron/group. But just surviving war is an achievement.

 

[R-2800]

100+ becasue as LeStuka said it raises morale of people around you and becasue it would be a great achievement to get so many kills and somehow live to tell about it

 

[Erich]

who cares ?

think about just one thing, surviving day or night after night of aerial warfare and making it till wars end without a mishap tragically.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Exactly. I would just do my job and hope to survive. Dont care what I would get.

This is very true. I thought this question was kind of strange to begin with...

[mkloby]

very nice poster

 

[Soundbreaker Welch?]

Thanks, but I didn't make it! Our grandpa's and grandma's probably did in sorrow and fury!

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

is a little big though.........

 

[mkloby]

I like this one - it was in one of the wing buildings on base...

 

[Soundbreaker Welch?]

It looks pretty cool, but the pilot better not step back!

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

i'm impressed he can stand that close anyway

 

[mkloby]

i'm impressed he can stand that close anyway

why wouldn't you be able to stand in front of a prop?

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

not only is he standing inces from the propeller but he's doing it without even flinching nor are any of his clothes flapping, the air around the prop from that kinda distance would be doing something to him! i'd say this photo's been photoshopped............

 

[Gnomey]

As it isn't a photo, it has obviously just been missed off by the poster artist...

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

is everyone in scrotland a barrel of laughs like you?
