What a grand example of both your flying and writing prowess this story is. I thoroughly enjoyed it, hands down, start to finish. Talk about "target rich". I must say that taking on 12 angry Spitfires single handed and surviving is no mean feat indeed. Galland himself on his best day might not have done as well. I'd say that you are definately quitting the Luftwaffe while you're personally ahead.
Old Dux:
I cheerfully agree with your slate of honorees and second your proposal with a single and obvious exception. Modesty prevents my 100% agreement with your cast of characters. Besides, I have just been honored with the O.B.E.!
Imagine that. Details coming soon to a letterbox near you.
