Sokol1_br Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 (edited) R.Hugault and Yann, the authors, like to introduce real war facts in their comics, and I know about it. FYI, the word tale can either be used to say : "An account of an asserted fact or circumstance;" What is the case of my previous quote, so don't understand your "indignation"... Used that word because in most flight sim/games forums that I know, people tends to consider WW II real pilots accounts "with a grain of salt". ;) Not that I agree with this rule, but for "avoid FLAK" ... what in this case seems has a result contrary to the expected. :D BTW - This account is too part of BAR rifle Wiki history (although based on same references). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M1918_Browning_Automatic_Rifle#cite_note-49 And Wiki, we know, need "a grain of salt". :) A similar account: :thumbup: " One Zero approached within several feet of Baggett. The pilot then nosed up, almost stalling, and opened his canopy. Baggett shot at the pilot with his .45 caliber pistol. The plane stalled and plunged to the earth," https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Owen_J._Baggett Others account of the same ... fact say that he shoot from ... parachute. :D http://www.fieldandstream.com/blogs/gun-nuts/2011/06/best-shot-1911-ever Remind this from old Warbirds Online boards.

Goblin Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 There's one hump that hasn't been mentioned here... "Rimforsabulan". The AJ37 Viggen has a dorsal hump just in front of the vertical stabilizer. The -1 prototype had some pitch instability in the transonic speed region. Legend has it that SAAB locked up a group of aerodynamic engineers in a room in the town of Rimforsa in Sweden, and told them they would be let out of there once they solved the problem. The solution was the creation of the aerodynamic hump, the "Rimforsa hump". But I doubt that's what Rudel is thinking of... That pic would have to be a cross section of that hump, to bear any resemblance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
