Country:  | Galland was not the type of guy who liked to sit behind a desk and flew his own aircraft on his own missions sometimes and he enjoyed it very much. He was a great person.

Country:  | Whilst there cirtainly were some very Gentlemanly acts during the war WWII can really be seen to be the death of that kind of thinking, from then on due to the changing nature of warfare the kill was more important than the guy behind the yoke..........

| My grandads Aircraft Carrier (it wasn't exactly 'his') at the end of WW2, HMS Ocean, apparently had a Hawker Sea Fury that destroyed at least 1 MiG 15 Faggot. I think he left before that happened, but it's something I've been meaning to ask him. | |

| Excellent!
__________________  We have built a total of about 1250 of this aircraft (Me-262), but only fifty were allowed to be used as fighters - as interceptors. And out of this fifty, there were never more than 25 operational. So we had only a very, very few.
