The Flying Sawn-Off Shotgun That Terrified Hitler
The Battle of Britain raged on in September 1940. The sky erupts in chaos. Spitfires and Messerschmitts twist and turn in a struggle to achieve victory. Amidst these tense dogfights, one aircraft moves with uncanny precision.

Eric "Sawn-Off Lockie" Lock spots an opening others miss. His Spitfire flips and dives, defying physics. A Me109 fills his gunsight. Lock's Browning machine guns roar to life. The enemy spirals earthward, trailing smoke and flame.

There is no time to celebrate. Twenty-seven minutes of intense combat follow. Lock becomes a menacing specter in the sky. Two He111 bombers fall victim to his accurate aim, their crews oblivious to the danger.

Another Me109 crosses his path and lands a burst on Lockie’s aircraft, injuring his leg: a fatal mistake. The British aviator, seeking revenge, outmaneuvers the enemy and shoots it down.

Four trophies in under an hour.

Before Lock heads home, his radio crackles: (QUOTE) "Luftwaffe bomber formation incoming! All available pilots scramble!"

Lock's ammunition is low, and his fuel is nearly spent. But the call of duty fills his heart. His thumb hovers over the radio button. He will not miss an opportunity to become an ace in a matter of hours.

Goosebumps


The Kansas City Chiefs football team was playing the Las Vegas Raiders in Kansas City. You may recall that when Obama was president he had eliminated patriotic military flyovers at large events.


So recently, a group of men in Kansas City who do some formation flying in their own planes, decided they'd volunteer to save this beautiful tradition and pick up the slack.

They invited a couple of other groups to join them and before they knew it, they had 48 men with their own airplanes signing up to join in. If they had more time, they probably would have gotten an even larger group as people kept joining and a 49th was added near the kickoff.

Be sure your speakers are turned up.Best if you watch at 'full screen'...pretty impressive and it makes you proud to be an American.

The TV networks did not show this because they are not allowed to show anything that reaffirms our national identity. The reaction from the people though, is a whole different story.

PS: The formation is fantastic, especially with SO many planes…. all former Naval Aviators….!!!

‘Our Focus Was to Get Trump Out of Office’ … ‘I Came to CNN Because I Wanted to Be a Part of That,’ CNN Technical Director Charlie Chester said. “Look what we did! We got Trump out!”"

March 19, 1941 – The 99th Pursuit Squadron also known as the Tuskegee Airmen, the first all-black unit of the US Army Air Corps, is activated. The Tuskegee Airmen is the popular name of a group of African-American military pilots (fighter and bomber) who fought in World War II. Formally, they also included the 332nd Fighter Group and the 477th Bombardment Group of the United States Army Air Forces. The name also applies to the navigators, bombardiers, mechanics, instructors, crew chiefs, nurses, cooks and other support personnel for the pilots. The Tuskegee Airmen were the first African-American military aviators in the United States armed forces. During World War II, Black Americans in many U.S. states were still subject to the Jim Crow laws and the American military was racially segregated, as was much of the federal government. The Tuskegee Airmen were subjected to racial discrimination, both within and outside the army. All black military pilots who trained in the United States trained at Moton Field and Tuskegee Army Air Field, located near Tuskegee, Alabama, which included five Haitians from the Haitian Air Force (Alix Pasquet, Raymond Cassagnol, Pelissier Nicolas, Ludovic Audant, and Eberle Guilbaud). Although the 477th Bombardment Group trained with North American B-25 Mitchell bombers, they never served in combat. The 99th Pursuit Squadron (later, 99th Fighter Squadron) was the first black flying squadron, and the first to deploy overseas (to North Africa in April 1943, and later to Sicily and Italy). The 332nd Fighter Group, which originally included the 100th, 301st, and 302nd Fighter Squadrons, was the first black flying group. The group deployed to Italy in early 1944. In June 1944, the 332nd Fighter Group began flying heavy bomber escort missions, and in July 1944, the 99th Fighter Squadron was assigned to the 332nd Fighter Group, which then had four fighter squadrons. The 99th Fighter Squadron was initially equipped with Curtiss P-40 Warhawk fighter-bomber aircraft. The 332nd Fighter Group and its 100th, 301st and 302nd Fighter Squadrons were equipped for initial combat missions with Bell P-39 Airacobras (March 1944), later with Republic P-47 Thunderbolts (June–July 1944), and finally with the aircraft with which they became most commonly associated, the North American P-51 Mustang (July 1944). When the pilots of the 332nd Fighter Group painted the tails of their P-47s and later, P-51s, red, the nickname “Red Tails” was coined. The red markings that distinguished the Tuskegee Airmen included red bands on the noses of P-51s as well as a red rudder, the P-51B and D Mustangs flew with similar color schemes, with red propeller spinners, yellow wing bands and all-red tail surfaces.
