There are alleged incidents from the earliest days of military aviation of enemy recon pilots taking potshots at each other with handguns because aircraft-mounted weapons hadn't been invented yet and they couldn't use rifles because they needed to use the other hand to fly the plane. I'm not aware that anyone ever actually got shot down in this way, but imagine if you did. Imagine tootling around in your shitty little wooden-frame biplane when another guy in a shitty little wooden-frame biplane comes flying up to you and shoots your plane with a revolver. Imagine surviving the resulting crash and having to explain that this is why you went down.

This is freaking cool! Is being carrier planes the only common thread? They weren't made by the same company, so I guess so. USN Aviation baby!! 🤘

No, it's NOT an F-16. It's a Mitsubishi F-2, aka 'Viper Zero'

The Dam Busters. The Allies decided they needed to destroy some dams. The RAF used Lancaster bombers to "Skipbomb" using these drum shaped bombs and skipping them across the waters surface and into the wall of the Dam. It was a wild plan, but they freaking did it. They destroyed Dams by skipbombing with Lancaster bombers.. Just another tale of people pulling crazy shit off for victory in wartime.
