| [1] "My fourth P-47 victory occurred under rather strange circumstances. Often on missions it happened that pilots suffered technical problems serious enough for them to return to base. We usually sent a second man back to cover, and on 18 March it so happened that a pilot who reported that he couldn't draw fuel from his belly tank was a tent mate of mine and I went back with him. I saw this Bf 109, or 190, stooging around at 1 o'clock, and I waggled my wings to try and fool him and made a 180-degree turn. I pulled right in behind him and shot him down." |
