@@airwarchronicles My dad thought it was strange how it was nearly always P47's that would attack them. He had a theory that, as they were mostly assigned to ground attack, they would be looking anything to shoot at to get a "kill" on their aircraft.

much thanks, you're great!... I read the book, when I was a boy...I still remember.
Nicely done! I love hearing about these personal accounts of the war.
No worries, Im keen to get my hands on some other material.
I always thought Clostermann told a lot of BS in his memory.
From his tales, it seems the FW190D was Luftwaffe mainstay...

Luftwaffe was still kicking asses even at the end of war
👍 👍 👍
So many Typhoons and Tempests fell to US aircraft and guns
Its surprising how many actually were shot down by US forces
@@airwarchronicles
My dad flew Typhoons and said they dreaded if they were informed that P47 were operating in the area :-(
@@monza1002000 wow thats terrible, the US forces must have been extremely trigger happy
