Now, I'm on a Harley with helmet and earplugs and I still
heard this thing coming up behind me.

I can only image what those on the receiving end of a strafing
run must have felt when they heard the howl of that plane
bearing down upon them.

Don't forget that what you heard was a good bit more mild, than when they were
doing that in "the big war."

Then, they had real 140 octane gas, ran the supercharger at a lot higher
settings, and didn't care if they burned out the engine frequently. Another was
waiting to be put in, any time it was needed.

I would really love to hear a maximum boost and high RPM takeoff, and "really"
wide open low pass. That must really be something!
