In WW2 the USA often used Black troops to police up the dead. In the 1st WW on one section of the line, the French buried the dead in their...
What you are talking about are rehearsed "combats". This didn't have the feel that this was rehearsed. Plainly, the P-63 shouldn't have been...
My take on it was that the P-63 pilot was "hot dogging" it and possibly making a faux firing pass on the bomber. The bomber was doing a fairly...
