On another professionals' forum, (nothing to do with aviation) about a year ago, a member had started a thread about little-known weapons of WWII.
It occurred to me that the Vengeance might be a reasonable subject to introduce.
With only the moderately reasonable knowledge that my research had turned up, with regard to its RAAF service, I contributed a little to that discussion.
The resident aggro idiot then charged in with the challenge .. "Yeah, well how did it go against the Zero, then?"
Some mothers do have 'em.
I was, perhaps unkindly, somewhat dismissive of him, saying that it did very well, thank you.
(As far as records show, the VV and the Zero never came to blows.)
If I was a nicer person, I could have taken him by the hand, etc...
