  1. Charles McGill Thanks for the extra information. The difference between disaster and survival is a very fine line and can be down to the skill and expertise of just a few people.

  2. I do remember this incident. And I remember seeing the photographs and wondering, like everyone else, how it had stayed together. It can be quite amazing what damage an aircraft can survive. I have seen a photograph of an aircraft, I think it was a Douglas C-54 Skymaster, which had a very large hole in the top of the aircraft just in front of the tail where a Japanese aircraft deliberately rammed the aircraft. It looked like something had taken a huge bite out of the aircraft. The aircraft survived the encounter and managed to get back to an airfield where it landed. The Japanese pilot was less fortunate and was killed in the collision.

  3. I remember that incident. If the pilot had been a cat he would have had considerably less lives then before he started that flight.
