Impossible Situations

I dont think the idea is all that wiered or crazy. Many countries have experimented with stuff like that and I think it wouldn't be that bad, plus I would love to try it out.

imagine the front rocket's flames hitting you in the crotch ... no wonder they leaped so high...

IF there was a strong wind, you could hover a Storch up to intercept em (Thought quite why the RAF and USAAF would be equipped with storches as interceptors I dont know )

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

mmm, or they could just use storches to just the barbed wire.....

 

[cheddar cheese]

ppfttttt, that's not heavy damage, THIS is heavy damage, look and the holes from machine gun bullets in this beast..........

This He-111 has taken more dmage than that....

B17

Lancaster after direct hit to the bomb bay

Rammed by a BF109

and made it back

 

[cheddar cheese]

I believe it was actually an Fw-190 that rammed it.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Does anyone actually know which aircraft it was.

According to these forums

it was a BF 109

interesting that nobody on that forum gives references where they pirated those copyright images.........

the B-17 that has been ripped first was shown in German author Arno Rose's book on Kommando Elbe back in the late 1960's-1970's. It is from the official US Army Air Forces Arcives

Yes I agree credit needs to be shown for the pics before some one decideds to complain about it.

As far as I've been told it was a Fw-190 that nearly cut that B-17's tail off. (Actually it did cut it off, as it fell apart shortly after landing)

I've seen that picture a number of times, it was always a Me-109 mentioned. In combat like that with closing speeds up to 550 mph and the confusion - who really knows?

I see.

Agreed.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

It really could have been anything. In most bomber interceptions like that there were Bf-109's and Fw-190's together and in the confusion multiple crews may have seen a Bf-109 and multiple crews may have seen Fw-190's.
