Which one of you is Rita Hayworth?
I thought you were...
your not the only oneI worry about you guys...
Ron Pottinger, A Soldier in the Cockpit, has some harrowing tales of flying low over water in Typhoons. Not much room for recovery if your engine quits.Not quite sure why it's not on the list, but i've always had a soft spot for the Hurricane. I would have liked to have piloted a Hurri during the bob. But for the ultimate thrill i'd have to say a Tempest V or a Mossie FB. Flying intruder missions across the channel 50 feet above the water at 300+ knots. What an experience that must have been.....

I read an article by a RAF Marauder squadron CO, who related that a lot of Marauders were going missing on routine sea patrols. Then one came back with bent props. Apparently the pilots liked to get right down on the deck, and some got too low.
Why are so many people picking the aircraft of the losers? While the Luftwaffe fielded some fine aircraft, many of the "advantages" held by the Luftwaffe, especially in the early stages of the war, were because of better fighter tactics and training and because they were dictating the time and place of the engagements, not because of the superiority of their hardware.
Aww, c'mon man, you know in your heart, (even if you won't admit it) any product of the master race has to be better!because of better fighter tactics and training and because they were dictating the time and place of the engagements, not because of the superiority of their hardware.
