    I always find it weird the Japanese were such masters of naval night time fighting.

    "US B-17 "All American" showing damage from a collision with a Bf 109 - Feb 1, 1943"

    Structural members ran along the deck. This is the second photo I've seen with damage of this extent in this area. Tough birds.

    I wonder if the collision was accidental or a deliberate ramming attempt...

    Did you know if the barrell hit something like a tree you would have to make the gun corrected again. Otheriwise your gunner would not know how accurate thr shooting was. Not a good thing.

    Unfortunately a B-17 after a flak hit. If U-boat men died as many as 40,000 you will be surprised that 55,000 of bomber crews died. There is a still a U-boat death figure as is thought as is a massive deatth number. how about 55,000? I don´t like it.

    Sorry, not being as familiar as some here, I incorrectly identified it as a FA-18.
