writes I am puzzled. Where did my posts (2) to this thread go? I made one point that interception of Me109s bingoing home sucking fumes would have paid dividends. One of your posts very similar to the one below appears in rec.aviation.military.naval not sure if that's what you mean? There's also an earlier one you posted about bingoing fuel. Interestingly one of my posts appeared in one ng, when I'd thought I'd posted it in another? This thread is running in about half a dozen groups, sometimes multiple times within them group. Well, one pilot made a practice of doing just that. Joseph Frantisek, Czech pilot, highest scorer (17) during the BoB, used to sneak off alone and bounce the 109s and whatever else he could find over the Channel. I found this in a great book from my local library, "A Question of Honor", by Olson and Cloud, ISBN 0-375-41197-6, copyright2003, published by Knopf. The primary subject is the Polish airmen in the RAF, and what they did during the BoB and after. You must read this book! (FWIW oddly enough the father of my daughter's husband was one of them - Alexander Franzcak. Also odd is we share the same birthday.) -- John |
