Salute! Small story about Adolf Galland.

In England during the Second World War, there was this RAF rookie pilot learning how to fly.
Suddenly out of the skies and from behind come these two Messerschmitt Bf-109s fighter planes and the RAF pilots braced themselves for the worse to what would be their fate.
The fighter planes circled the little yellow DeHavilland tiger-Moth for a closer look. The surprised British pilots tried hard to signal the German fighters by putting their hands in the air and that they were defenceless and were surrendering.
To their amazement the fighter planes circled around them once again and one German fighter slowed down his airplane and flew by next to the little Yellow RAF aircraft.
The German pilot waved at the British pilots and smiled. In the fuselage below the cockpit it had a painted Mickey-Mouse.
The pilot saluted them and then both fighter planes flew off into the clouds above.
That German pilot was none other than Adolf Galland, a fighter ace with a total of 103 victories in 705 missions.
