Dr. Fox was a P-47 pilot with the 391st Fighter Squadron of the 366th Fighter Group. He is credited with having shot down an Arado 234 in February 1945. Rest in peace Sir...

I remember reading the story of that Arado shootdown a few years ago. Can you imagine seeing that thing and then having the wherewithal to shoot it down? I can imagine that my response might have been along the lines of "good god, what is that thing?" as opposed to lining up on it and opening up. Well done, sir, and thanks for posting!
