I met the guy who flew one of the Dorniers a couple of years back in the aircraft museum Hannover. He had a copy of the certificate in his wallet that confirmed that he had sunk the Roma. He said that during training they would regularly hit 5x5m squares on the ground with the Fritz-X. After the war he never flew as a pilot again. It was a very memorable experience to meet that guy!

I can imagine ....... this pilot will be 'left completely shocked after having sunk more' big giant of the Italian navy in the center made the room even hitting ammunition and causing an explosion so strong as to blow up the second tower gunboat that weighed a lot you tons ... .... like the cap of a bottle ..... and a gait so strong as to cause the death of 1352 men on an entire crew of 1948.


say that this pilot is definitely not 'back more' to fly, and why that experience was definitely a great experience.

in Italy it is said that ROMA was unsinkable.

Wow Tbag, that must have been a great experience. I was at the Great State of Maine airshow a couple years ago and was pawing over the B-25 'Panchito' that was part of the display. There was an older man there and he identified himself as a pilot, but then he says "I didn't fly these though, oh no, I was a B-26 pilot" and I say "The Marauder?" and he says "Yes, now that was a real combat airplane!" Granted, the airplane that brings you home is the airplane that you are going to love, but to see the confidence, the bravado in this man of 80+ years, I felt lucky to be in his presense!
