Deviousness |
I read that one T-bolt pilot had to scrub back to England due to problems with his controls (forgot whether it was flak damage or mechanical failure) and he was going back alone when a German fighter came up. Poor pilot couldn't maneuver worth spit, and basically sat there while the German poured everything he had into the back end of the craft. Eventualy, the German fighter stopped, and then pulled up alongside the crippled P-47. The German shook his head, gave a salute to the American pilot, and then flew off, and the guy in the T-bolt realized the German had run out of ammunition trying to shoot the P-47 down. Later, when he landed in England, the pilot got out and started to count the holes in the fighter. He counted up to 200 in a single square foot of skin and stopped.
Now that is one badass aircraft.
Does it have a sexy, George Petty style image of Applejack on the nose?
(I just finished reading a fic that very successfully paired Soarin and Applejack, so I have that ship on the brain.)
