Just This Once:
The shot was directly astern. It was a very long range shot for low level. I estimate I was at about 50 feet doing approximately 615 knots. I couldn't put the A4 on the horizon so he must have been at 30 feet or so. I thought the range to be a good mile and a half and can only assume it reached the target because of my substantial overtake. In fact, I saw the motor flame out well before impact.
Jualbo:
Yes, I would say a fair degree of literary licence! But nonetheless, a good read.
