Galland?

Catch22 · Nov 30, 2008

Hmm, I think it was Heinz Bär, after doing some research.

Njaco · Nov 30, 2008

Nope, two very good choices but not the person. In fact, this person was on par with Galland - career and popularity-wise.

Werner Molders

Njaco · Nov 30, 2008

Thats it!

On 29 March 1940, Werner Moelders was shot down by Paul Richey of RAF No. 1 Sqdrn for the British squadron's first Bf 109 victory. It also happened that on the same day, F/L Johnny Walker, also from RAF No. 1 Sqdrn shot down a Bf 110 for the first of the twin-engined type to be downed by the Allies.

The floor is your, PB!

7 Hudsons led by Don Bennett (of Pathfinder fame). 4 made it across, 3 were lost in bad weather.

I'll give you that they all made it across though which was a surprise . They expected to loose 2 or 3

Wanted to revive this old thread.

Found a great piece of trivia.

What was written on the atomic bomb "Little Boy" when it was dropped on Hiroshima?

Hmmm, this one I cannot remember and I don't want to Google it.

GrauGeist · Oct 30, 2009

"Made in USA"?

Njaco · Oct 30, 2009

No but I'll give a hint.

It was associated with the history of "Little Boy".

Another hint:

It was related to a recent event at the time.
