James Ginger Lacey-attack on 12 Bf109s-Sept 15,1940

[kaki3152]

Found this old drawing of a Hurricane attack on 12 Bf109s, along with the disparaging caption making fun of the drawing.

I was under the impression that this drawing was actually a graphic representation of Ginger Lacey's attack on September 15,1940 during the Battle of Britain.

Excerpt from Ginger Lacey Fighter Pilot by Bickers:
"But twelve yellow nosed Bf109s...had other ideas. In a flash, Lacey found himself racing head-on towards them. He dipped his nose as though to about to dive under them, then pulled back the stick and rocketed up in a loop, to attack the last one in the formation, which was lagging. He put a satisfactory burst into it while inverted, and, as he had plenty of speed, half-rolled off the top of his loop and followed the formation.'Who didn't seem to have seen their last man was diving vertically with flames pouring over his cockpit hood.'
Closing to 250 yards on No. 3 in the rear section . It pulled out of position with a white stream of glycol leaking out of its radiator...he fired the last of his bullets into the leader and dived vertically into cloud."
