The unarmed recce pilots motto: Unarmed Alone and Unafraid.

Thanks for the link Pappy, a friend of mine would have liked that, he was a pilot trainer in the Canadian forces WWII and he was known as Pappy as well, probably due to his age around the young pilots.
Wow, I too had watched that several years ago, but thanks for the "rerun". Very enjoyable. :)

Unarmed..you had a few defensive weapons...speed, altitude. and deception.. Alone, yeah, but you can bet you were being watched...scared...crazy if you weren't...Me and my buddies told you where to fly...
