This is Cool
I'm currently watching an episode of Modern Marvels on the History Channel. As you can probably guess, this segment deals with World War II.
The topic of this particular episode is about airborne bombs. As you can guess, it mentions the V-1 buzz bomb. Apparently, it turns out that RAF would, at times, have the chance to send up planes to intercept the V-1s. But they would prove hard to hit.
Therefore, then, the enterprising pilots would fly right up next to the V-1, place their wing right underneath the bomb's wing, and then bank. This would flip the V-1 over, and send it crashing to the earth out of control.
Nothing quite so much like a Jedi Knight as an RAF pilot in a Spitfire, or an American in a Mustang or a Hellcat.
