Bouncing Kittyhawks

...

I was 400 to 500 metres high and, with no engine, had to force-land.
It was all silent with the battle now behind me when my Bordfunker shouted;
Turn right - Fighter behind us !
I put the nose down, dived and landed but the fighter didn't shoot; He was a gentleman.

Very interesting! Thanks for the heads up, Rodolphe.

If you've not seen it, here is the interview of Heinz concerning the 11 Nov '42 'Bouncing Kittyhawks' engagement, including a recreation of the events of that day using IL2.

Unfortunately, in spite of my obvious penchant for historical accuracy, we were unable to obtain custom historically accurate skins in time to be included in this video recreation, the expeditious completion of which was a primary consideration back in May 2010. (I say 'we', but the video in this case was actually made in its entirety by 'Biltongbru'...My contribution at the Migeod website was primarily that of providing supporting historical research and gathering customized IL-2 skins.)
