??? It was IL-2, wasn't it ? or FB or PF, can't remember what planes are it what version...Been so long...<sigh>

Excellent documentary though.

What courage to fly a mission with a leaking fuel tank knowing you won't make it home.

S!

That's a Cajun for you. It's not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog. I was privledged enough to meet him a few years ago. I bet ATC's had a a lot of fun with his accent!
