I watched a doc on that kill and Yeager said it was “highly unsportsman like..but what the hell.”
I made the same observation, are you really shooting it down, if he’s landing? You’re just kind of hurrying him along, right?

When I was kid and one of my brothers was taking his flying lessons, one of his instructors was a guy who flew P47s in Italy during WW2. That man was CRAZY. He pulled so much crap with planes that they jerked his pilots license.
He was measuring up a overpass on a highway up there and intended on flying a plane under it.
All I knew is that he was called Chief Oshkosh since he was an Indian from up there..never knew WTH his real name was.
