That is true... also I remember one Soviet pilot shooting down 9 or so Ju-87s on one day, he perished soon after that. However Preddy wasn't flying against bombers or some sort of inferior aircraft; Bf-109 & FW-190 were extremely dangerous aircraft of their time. Therefore his achievement is highly remarkable.Originally posted by Metatron_123:
Great story!
But its' glaringly apparent that even Il-2s rookie setting cannot be compared with the pilots he was up against.![]()
