FYI, the very last German plane shot down during WW2 was a Feisler Storch, which was shot down by a US officer in a Piper CUB, using a 1911A1 45 cal PISTOL & a M1 CARBINE, with 30 round clip.
BOTH the 2 Germans AND the 2 Americans were still alive in 2000 to be re-united in Germany!
i MET the officer who was the liason pilot of the CUB. he has self-published a book about the incident.
he said he AND his observer "got chewed out by the colonel" for doing "this damned stupid aerial circus stunt". AND the colonel gave him a "letter of reprimand", rather than a medal!
the only person injured in the incident, was the German observer, who got his arm broken in 2 places, when the Storch crash-landed! the Storch, however, was a total loss.

GW1V (Army) and Gnad (Marines) hang out with me in the Hobbit Hole. I figured they'd enjoy reading today's thread.

I was active duty at the time, but stayed in TX. Funny, she can join the VFW, but I can't. LOLThat is ironic. I remember there was some resistance to allowing Virtnam Vets in initially.

I remember GW1V from the Canteen. I left last April though never to return and hadn't seen GW1V around. Thanks for letting them know about the Foxhole. Since we aren't on the front pages of comments we can be hard to find.

I am still around FreeRepublic, although I haven't been in the Canteen for a while.
I,as Engineer have mentioned, am making my home in the Hobbit Hole. I still get out and venture though! :D
Thanks for the Desert Storm thread...it brings back memories..

Good to see you. I stay right here as Sam's partner at the Foxhole and we concentrate on military history.

Yep, that's how the cookies crumble. You have to be fighting in a foreign land to be able to join the VFW.
