Steadfast Against All Odds by Domenic DeNardo
On a patrol mission over France on June 14- 1944- Lt. George L. Sutcliffe's P-47 from the 397th Fighter Squadron of the 368th Fighter Group came under heavy attack. After an exhaustive dogfight- and extensive damage to his aileron- elevator trim tab and rudder- Sutcliffe is seen- hanging on the prop and about to stall. An Me-109 in the encounter- pulled up no less than 30 feet to him to bid farewell- as he flew into the clouds.
