An L4 once claimed a victory over a BF 109, apparently the L4 pilot with the 109 on his tail turned ever tighter whilst diving down towards tree top height. The 109 pilot with the puny Piper just out of his sights chased him down only to stall and spin in from a couple of hundred feet.
I have seen a picture of the L4 in question with a 109 'kill' silhouette stenciled on the side!
My L4 really is genuine a warbird. It has 2years documented front line service between 1943-45. In fact, the vast majority of the J3-L4 series Cubs in the UK are genuine warbirds too. A sobering thought when you see one at a Sunday afternoon fly-in...
