January 30th, 1944 Northern Italy. "Herky" Green and his flight of "Jugs" encounter a group of Ju-52s and Green proceeds to down four. Minutes later he engages a Macchi 202 in a low-level fight and bags kill number 5. On the return leg "Herky" encounters a Dornier Do-217, shoots it down, and raises his day's total to 6 kills. It may be hard to believe but more Americans became Aces while flying the P-47 than any other fighter during WW2 |
