Message text But, does an impressive tally of victories make you an invincible pilot ?
I seem to recall a cartoon that depicted a great German ace being shot down by an American fighter plane. The German was captured after bailing out and demanded to be taken to the American air field to meet the pilot who shot him down. The Americans obliged and the German pilot was introduced to a rookie pilot just fresh from his first mission. The German was stunned beyond all believe, * YOU ??? You BOY ???" he sputtered, "I have 175 victories !!! How many do YOU have ??? " The young American pilot replied with a big grin, " Just the one, sir"
