Very sad.

It is also very sad that during WW-iI combat operations there were many, many collisions like that.

In the movie “Memphis Belle” remember when they let the reporter shoot at a German fighter and that fighter crashed into a B-17 cutting it into?

On P-63 and Airacobra the engine to propellor shaft ran right between the pilots legs and there were numerous deaths where an imbalance either in engine, shaft or propellor killed or injured the pilot.
