Hi All,


I wanted to add some more fuel to the fire here. The following is a quote from Karl Stein (SG 1) about comabt vs. an IL-2.

"I apparently got the read gunner of one because his gun was pointed upwards, and I expended all my ammunition - guns and cannon - on the plane. He started smoking, his right landing gear dropped, and he slowed way down. BUt I couldn't knock him down.When I broke off, he was still in the air though he probably didn't make it back to base."

Although he does not say he got a kill one has to wonder how this was reported. (w.b or prob. ??) Similar to the Hartmann comment earlier in the thread. ~ Thoughts?
