It took serious ballz to fly a Comet in combat IMHO. Give me a P-51 any day.
What LL said.
An attack glider.
LL/Ed- Yep, especially the SECOND time!
Gerry- Just about!
Desperate times make for desperate measures.
WSF- That they did!
+1 WSF
Nothing more than a sky-rocket. Follow it down to it’s base and call in the B-17’s and the P-51’s!
