Chivalry
I ,personally, only encountered the chivalry of the German Pilot who formated below my port wingtip (carefully ahead putting the wing between himself and the midupper gunner) when completing my bombing run over a blazing German city and, shrugging his shoulders, pointed to his guns and shook his head, stuck his thumb up and half rolled and dived away. ( I have related this in more detail in a previous post). I haven't heard of the act that you described but the chivalry between the respective Air forces during the African Campaign was legendary as was that between the Eighth Army and the Afrika Corps.
Us Liverpudlians have to stick together, Cliff. I have also furnished my family with my memoirs but never realised that it might even help them financially. I suppose,like most of us, we just don't want to be forgotten so what better way than to dive in here and share those experiences with all of us and we can join in. The water's luvly and warm, Regle
