Re: Cobras, Mustangs, Thunderbolts, Eastern vs Western front, Franek vs ...
Soviet fighter pilot recalled:
It was harder to fight againts Finns, than againts germans. Why?
Because finns used slow, very maneuvreble aircrafts. Hawks or Brewsters. When they saw our Yaks and La's, the knew will not escape, and started amazing furball. Usually my head was circling for 360* and almost jumped out from showlders! There ALWAYS were "on the edge" furballs!
In case with germans: usually they flew high over us. You see, WHEN they start to attack, and JUST start a little maneuvering, to show them that You see them and theyr attack WILL NOT BE SUDDEN FOR US, THAT WE ARE PREPARED TO FIGHT.
Usually, they IMMEDIATLY breaked off theyr attack and get away to search for another easier target.
