British Pilot's First combat
In 1939 France, British Hurricane pilot Paul Richey in his first Combat encounter was attacked by two Morane fighters while over his airfield. With 20 gallons of petrol left after shaking off the French he landed near a closeby town. One of the two French fighters had also force-landed,nosed over and broke its prop. The French pilot quickly call the local police to look for the "German" plane that had landed in the area. When told it was a British plane,his first word was "Merde" LOL.
