Question:
Anyone ever hear of George "Buzz" Beurling?
When caught by the Bf 109s, many pilots found themselves flying for their
lives using all helpful manoeuvres. Canadian George "Buzz" Beurling
developed an evasive action when he, upon being attacked from behind, pulled
the stick extremely hard, causing the Spitfire to enter a violent stall,
flick over and spin. The manoeuvre was so quick and rough that it was
impossible to follow, but only very few pilots ever learned to use it.
"Buzz" Beurling was as good a shooter as he was a pilot: he became the top
ace of the 1942 Malta campaign with 27 victories to his credit. Rumours said
that he once shot down a Messerschmitt Bf 109 with only two bullets!
