Another interesting story overheard by my son who attended a fighter pilots reunion with my dad many years ago was:
Sitting at a table after a few drinks they got to talking about their wartime adventures.One guy was relating how he was shot down and was being strafed on the ground by a Nazi fighter pilot and along came a buddy and forced the enemy to break it off .He swore that if he ever saw that guy he would buy him a case of scotch.Another pilot sitting there overheard this a said ,hey I am sure that was me ! They couldn't believe it so they checked their log books and sure enough the proof was there.
