That's what happens when you have Fokkers in Messerschmitts...

I was referencing an old joke...

Quote:

During WWII, a Dutch fighter pilot went to talk to some schoolchildren. He had them all riveted with his stories of the Battle of Britain, until he mentioned one particular fight. "And den, coming up on my tail der vas dis Fokker I hadn't seen..."

One of the little boys giggled. The teacher frowned at the little boy and interrupted. "I think I should explain here, because we clearly have a very ignorant class of silly little boys, that the Fokker company are a well known German plane manufacturer, and there's nothing whatsoever funny about their name."

The pilot turned to the teacher. "Dis is very true. But dat Fokker -- dat Fokker I vas saying vas coming up on my tail out of de sun and starting to strafe me? Dat Fokker vas a Messerschmitt!"

Oberon 11-09-10 12:51 PM

Fokker is Dutch, but good story anyway. :rock:

I think Bader did something similar on a Michael Parkinson interview.

"Ah yes, Michael (Parkinson)," Bader replied, "But these ****es were Messerschmitts..."

Only in Oleg's world in Il2.;)

@TLAM Strike
Nice story. I almost imagined something like that, but I wasn't sure, so the smartass in me gained the upper hand.:D

I dont know, after that one campaign, I began to love the ****e wulf. Nice firepower, Good handeling (if you do it right) Though in Olegs world, they kinda have no pilot protection.

Doubt any modern aircraft could return with that amount of damage...
