Re: P51 North American Mustang
should get a subsrciption to air and space, I thnk they had an article in there about 6 months ago, describing how Luffwaffe pilots would climb up high, then dive in fast and wack through bombers' fusalage. I think they even had the 109's built special with a reinforced leading edge
This was pretty much the safest way to take out a heavy bomber because they where so well protected with cannons every where. Cant really sneak up from behind and shoot them down now could you. had to be fast and brutal. this is probably why there where so few fighter pilots and hardly any aces left over at the end of ww2, all the crazy pilots didn't live very long
