Re: Cripes Almighty
While I'm at it.....those guys flew when flyiing was flying. All they had was compass, stopwatch and dead reckoning from landmarks all done with a hand on the stick for about 500 miles to rally point. Awsome! Most don't realize how big the P-51 was for a fighter of it's time. The air intake alone was astonishing to feed those hungry pistons. But at 300 mph...no prob. I'd love to see a computer simulation of a P-51 Mustang up against a P-38 Lightning wouldn't you? My bets on the Mustang.
The whole nine yards,
John
