In WWII the RAF did not consider shooting down the V-1s as typical aerial kills. Instead, they had their own separate list of victories, and even had "V1 Aces". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That shit ain't easy! On the other hand, I brought down my father-in-law's drone just by spilling beer on him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brickhistory Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 1 hour ago, HossHarris said: They were manned And each was surrounded by a metric sh1t-ton of archie (AAA to you newbies) which is why Frank Luke was celebrated as a mad hero. Being so flammable and a static target, the Jerries (and Allies) put a ring of lead around each one. Brits never did issue parachutes for their balloonists (something about bonus' and being team players...). USAAF also categorized V-1 kills separately. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DVT Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Whose informing the Albino and Raptor pilots? Hopefully not the Turkish Viper pilot who splashed the SU-24! All kidding aside, a long way to go for anyone to top 100+ kills to zip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
