The day a German fighter pilot escorted a B-17
Bookmark the permalink.
That’s amazing. Two old warriors, finally meeting. Duty, tempered by humanity. Great story.
If I were a fighter pilot and had an enemy aircraft that had just dropped bombs on my homeland in my sights, I am pretty sure I would have shot it down regardless as to how damaged it was.
The German pilot is a better man than me.
I have to second what RD said. Story about that flight school instructor notwithstanding, I find it a mathematical certitude that I’d shoot that bomber down, knowing that it had just dropped bombs on my homeland.
I have, however, on occasion been called rather coldly calculating in my decision-making process. >_>
No doubt. I’m apparently, less emotionally complex than the German pilot, too.
That doesn’t mean it’s not a great story.
I often wonder what happened to the North Viet soldier that I met on a patrol. We saluted each other and our squads just bypassed each other. It wasn’t our day to be killing each other.
There are so many wonderful people in this crazy world.
