@TheWhiteOwl23 I doubt that him flying with a wingman Into a bushel of German fighters and make up to command when he landed a story when he had a wingman to back it up But rushing to "drop tanks" and get in the fight. Many pilots made many mistakes and paid for it with there lives

@freakyflow i saw that clip lol, that guy seemed arrogant so probably made it up
-
Love the vid. Think it's funny about the drop tanks. There was a guy that "dropped tanks" 3 secs before a dogfight and forgot to switch over fuel pumps ..The plane stalled and he took the shot anyways ,,,making The first ever kill in a glider ! lol true story
-
@XP55 I think the youtube user airboyd has the whole thing. The thing is its kinda funny like this because the narrator totaly avoids the whole "bail out" question. lol

This is a great video, do you have any other wartime aircraft training vids?

training FILM. there was no such thing as "video" during WWII

I knew a fellow who flew them in the Pacific, and he said they were a fine plane in the air, but they turned into a bit of a squirrel on take offs and landings with any kind of cross wind.

Anyway, the best fighter of ww2 was Yak-3.
Unfortunately, I don't have the rest of that video. I'll search for it, maby I'll find something...
