[QUOTE="komokwa, post: 48422, member: 301"]Bomber crews marked their sorties, & fighter aircraft were routinely marked with the pilots ' kills' . They were serious ......Dead serious.....& the biggest exhibitionists of all. Enemy pilots would try to ' make their bones' with aircraft so marked , or....they'd do their level headed best to stay out of their line of fire. I wouldn't call any of those boys , from either side.....vain. I'm looking at a B-17 photo right now , & it's got 50 missions marked on it's side. I have Spitfire models and paintings and photo's around my house, & my computer is loaded with them. G-d bless the RAF . History is replete with tales of warriors , soldiers , outlaws and lawmen marking a host of their different weapons. Who's to say none of them are true ![/QUOTE]
