Holmes had run out of ammunition so he flew his Hurricane directly into the German plane. He managed to use his aircraft to slice off the bomber's tail and parachuted out of his plane before it hit Buckingham Palace Road. The Dornier plunged into part of Victoria Station.
Did this guy have a pair, or what?

Please God put this same kind of spirit in our leaders and fighting men today. Please God let president Bush embody this same courage as he faces political opposition.

Gold plated!
I'm so glad he survived, and do hope he passed on his genes.
What a guy.
