BOAC, that reminds me of a story that a friend told me. He was a US Marine Corps pilot in WWII, flying Corsairs out of the Solomon Islands in the S. Pacific.
A fighter that had the profile of a Japanese fighter flew by him, so he fired and shot it down. The other pilot sucessfully bailed out and was rescued.
The other pilot was an RAAF pilot. When my friend returned to base, he was met by the RAAF pilot. The rules were that my friend had to buy all of the drinks for awhile, so he did.
My friend is Colonel Jim Swett, Medal of Honor recipient.
You have to hear him tell the story. It is quite funny and I can not do it justice.
