Talk about a wild dogfight...


Just watching a show I DVRed from the Military History channel, and a USN SBD (Dauntless Dive Bomber) gets into a dogfight with three Japanese Zeros. And he lived to tell about it. He's pulling 9G turns to keep them off his tail.

What's even crazier, is he knocks down all three zeros. He was awarded the Navy Cross for that flight. He later transfers to fighters.

Wow!
